This property is very close to Lake Tekapo and there are plenty of public parking spaces. The hotel also has amazing public areas and you will definitely take a photo there. The only downside is that room is not very big but their bed is super big and convenient (bedside table has 4 outlets and 2 bed lamps!!!)

The room was very small for the price and the walls paper thin. The next door guest were playing their tv well passed the quiet time. I had to bang on the walls to try to get some sleep. No staff was there to keep them in line. Too expensive for what you get.

The room we stayed in was pretty clean, although there were some space constraint and we spotted a few flies in the room which is still acceptable. We booked one with the lake view and it was beautiful in the morning. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Haka house.

The staff works very hard to keep the property clean and running well. The shared kitchen is set up well and can hold a lot of people. The only downside was the uncomfortable mattress, which in my case, was a spring mattress rather than a foam.
