This is a great little backpacker hostel in Tekapo. The room we originally wanted wasn't available, but the hosts kept in communication with us to make sure we were still able to book a room, even at the last minute. The hostel was clean and quiet, so getting a good night's rest was no problem. There is a nice kitchen and social area in a nearby building, which is also great because it keeps the noise down in the sleeping areas. It's a short walk to downtown, the hot pools, or to a dark neighborhood for stargazing!
