Great room & communal facilities. Would recommend " - "Probably one of my favourite hostel stays in the South Island. I stayed in a total of three Haka Houses over my NZ trip, but I think Franz Josef was my favourite. Obviously the location is incredible and proximity to the glacier can't be beat. The kitchen is massive with lots of facilities and storage, the games room/lounge/dining room and movie room are all pretty generously appointed. It also lends itself well to socialisation and I think I unexpectedly made the most pals passing through here (and Arthur's Pass). The front desk staff are really nice and are there from 0800-2000hrs. There was no onsite parking (paid) available due to summer high season but plenty of free street parking available. All Haka Houses I've stayed at have the same bunk style with two AU/NZ electrical sockets as well as a USB-A and USB-C port, plus lockable storage that has the same thing inside (bring a decent-sized lock, I had some tiny ones and had to buy a medium one). This is a great idea. You can charge things while you're away and they're locked up, and if you don't have an international adapter you can use cable only. The privacy curtains are a good touch as well. They also have all had the nice enclosed showers with a detachable showerhead. And bath mats! I also think I had my best hostel sleep here, the beds are decently comfy and I got really lucky with roomies - three other women, none of us snored."

- "Ambience " - "Relaxed atmosphere. Nicci was lovely " - "Our stay at Pewika was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Nicci, the owner, welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. The accommodation was immaculate, cozy, and full of character. It was evident that a lot of care and attention to detail went into making Pewika a warm and inviting place to stay. One of the highlights was the delightful Christmas dinner that Nicci prepared for us. It was a beautiful gesture that made our holiday extra special. The following morning, the continental breakfast offered a great selection of cereals, spreads, and a delicious fruit salad, which was the perfect way to start the day. What made our stay even more memorable was the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world. The atmosphere at Pewika fostered enriching conversations and a sense of community that made us feel connected and appreciated. Although we only spent one night at Pewika, it left a lasting impression on us. We found ourselves wishing we could stay longer but had to continue our journey. We look forward to returning to Picton, and Pewika will definitely be our go-to place to stay. Nicci's incredible hospitality and the welcoming environment she has created make Pewika a truly special place. Thank you, Nicci, for making our stay so wonderful. We can't wait to visit again.

- "This hostel is great. It's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but the bus is only $3 from the airport and it's only an 11 minute walk. They have chocolate pudding every evening at 8pm. *(for Americans, it's not milky, liquidy pudding, but baked "pudding".) It gets pretty cold in the fall/winter. They offer extra blankets, but I still found it very chilly. I really liked the communal spaces and the hammocks, love a good hammock. I think this hostel is probably really busy in the summer, but in late April/May it's less busy. "
