Customer Reviews Arthur's Pass, Mountain House YHA

30 Jan 2012 Helen, England & Wales
The female on reception was very rude, and I also got overcharged and even when I showed her my print out saying how much I had to pay, she wouldn't give me my money back

In between the room and toilet the lights were not turned on at night. It is quite dark at night. We have to carry our torch light every time when we went to the toilet. We couldn't find the switch either so I guess this is something for the hostel to improve.
Hostel Overview
Mountain House is a great place to base your Arthur's Pass excursion - surrounded by National Park. Many short walks leave from the village. Visit the Devils Punchbowl waterfall or explore the Bealey or Otira Valleys. For the more adventurous the day trip up Avalanche Peak has spectacular views of the high mountains in the Park. Longer 1 or 2 overnight tramps include the Cass-Lagoon Saddle and Goat Pass. In winter take your choice from five local ski fields.Located two hours from Christchurch and one hour 30 minutes from Greymouth. The Trans Alpine Train journey from Christchurch is considered one of the great rail journeys in the world.
We are the tramping specialists offering a wide range of accommodation options and gear storage. Transport is available from the hostel to local track ends.
Phone us if you are trying to make a reservation within 3 days of your expected arrival date.
