When we first arrived at this place, I wasn't expecting much. We were greeted by the owner (who was nice, but seemed to be busy) and shown around the place.

We stayed here twice on this trip; once before going out on Routeburn Track and again for a few days after we returned. We really enjoyed our stay. Our private room was in a separate wing and so we shared a bathroom with only two other rooms; our shower was pretty low on water pressure, but it was hot! And... More

I had a great time at Deco's - friendly team running the place (Thanks Tony), large kitchen and eating area, free wifi and good showers - I will definitely come back here when I visit Queenstown again. Wonderful view out the back on to the city.

The heater was broken, and it was snowing outside, the room was mould and one side of the bed was wet from a leak... More

I ended up crashing here for almost a week and after visiting a few other backpackers in Queenstown I’m glad I stayed here. Tony was so helpful with everything. He didn't like the idea that I went to Happy Travel but that’s because they offer 50 bucks worth of drink tickets with any tour your book with them. I don’t... More
