- Avg. price/night: £48.947.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,682 reviewsAfter one year of travelling all over New Zealand I can really say, Haka Lodge is the best Hostel I was staying in. I felt very safe, bathroom und kitchen were clean, nice staff and very good bedrooms. I was staying in a dormitory in Auckland in Haka Lodge and in Taupo in a double bedroom, both I would always recommend.
JolineYoung couple - Avg. price/night: £48.947.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,682 reviewsReally like the privacy of curtains on the bunk beds and how sturdy they were. Also the convenience of a plug in each bunk for charging devices safely. lockable cupboards for possessions were good. The hostel had a welcoming and friendly vibe and good for socialising but not too loud late in the night too, so a great balance as a solo traveller. Facilities clean and tidy, cleaned well every morning.ChamberlainSolo traveller

- Avg. price/night: £54.657.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 1,711 reviewsGood center location. 2 streets back from the water front. Plenty nearby places to eat and drink and get coffee and close to water sport tourist attractions. Others, a walk or quick drive such as Huka Falls and hot pools. The hostel is as to be expected if marked as a 3 star accomadation. Clean enough, safe feeling, cheap accomadation in convenient location but very basic. Bedding included, but you should bring towels and toiletries.LaverickPeople with friends

Great location near the centre of town.
