Welcome to Hippo Lodge Backpackers
FACILITIES
Top House
The top house arguably has the best views but there are a few steps to the front door. Facilities include fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms, a large dining and lounge area and laundry facilities.
White House
The white house is the fanciest and most spacious of the three houses – it houses the deluxe double rooms and an ensuited double room. The ensuited room has its own bathroom and the two deluxe doubles share a bathroom and 2 toilets. All three rooms share the lounge, kitchen and dining room. The views of Lake Wakatipu and Walter Peak from the common area are spectacular!
Bottom House
The bottom house is easy to access and houses the larger dorm rooms and a double room. It has a large bathroom with showers and toilets, a lounge and fully equipped kitchen.
