Nice place to stay in. In the middle of the town so you can reach the tree and town centre quite quickly. The dorms are private enough, and staff is friendly. The common area is slightly tight but still big enough to accommodate big companies.

Bang average hostel. Cheap, but way too small and not really very lively at all. You're better off staying at other places in Wanaka.
