We were only in Tekapo for a night and ate out, so can’t comment on the shared kitchen or shared spaces etc. But from the tour upon our arrival, things looked good - kitchen well equipped, plenty of space to eat inside as well as out, lounge area...
Friendly welcome and tour, the team seems very available for any questions one may have.
We were in a self contained cabin with ensuite so also can’t comment on the shared bathroom areas. Our cabin was great, excellent for couples or couple + child (double bed+single), comfortable, functional and clean. Comfy bed, bedside tables, small table and chair set, plenty of power outlets for charging devices, small but functional bathroom, good shower, hand/body wash provided. All bedding and towels provided. No probs with WiFi reception. We’d definitely recommend this backpackers to others! Thanks :-)
