I really enjoyed stayed at Tahuna Pod Hostel. First, the location is just perfect, a short walk away to everything but peaceful away from all the noises and chaos of Queenstown, and perched on the top of the hill so you have an amazing view of the lake, especially during sunset. The staff is fantastic and keeps the place friendly but clean and orderly. And the bed is so so comfortable. If you are coming to Queenstown, stay here.
