As I wrote this, I am reminded of my disappointments again. It was really a bad day as it rained throughout our journey to Milford. When we arrived at Milford Sound Lodge, the drizzle was already getting heavier. The entire mood was so gloomy. It was about 11 am when we arrived and as the check in time was 2pm, the reception does not allow us to check in but allowed us to hang around the hostel and so we did.
We can't go anywhere except to walk around in the hostel, sit around and lie around on the sofas at the lounge, day dreamed, made ourselves a cup of hot chocolate and starred into the rain and sky with a quiet whisper that the rain will stop and the sun will miraculously appear. Well, it didn't.
It happened that our cruise was cancelled due to the bad weather and with our sullen face, we made our way back to the hostel. More bad news .... once back at the hostel, we saw the notice on the board that said heavier rain was expected the next day and the Milford road will be closed. We checked out immediately and left Milford for Queenstown as we did not want to be stucked at Milford. We forfeited our stay as they have a no refund policy for 24 hours cancellation. So what can I say about this hostel? To be fair, I can't say much and do not have any feedback for you as I did not stay there. So let the pictures speak for itself and you decide if this place is worth a night stay on your trip to Milford. Anyway, it seems that this is the only budget accommodation at Milford and no other :-(
