Pros: Mostly clean, very quiet (I was there during winter), friendly staff, good location, large lounge area, strong wifi. Cons: Very loud cooling system in private room; bitten by insects/bugs overnight; clutter (unneeded fans) in private room; uncomfortable pillows; sheets feel old and stained; odd cleanup rules in kitchen (everything has to be hand dried and put away right away, so you're essentially using the same set of crockery/flatware as others throughout the day). I slept very badly and had to check out two nights early.

Uptodate and secure facilities, in a modern building with lift access. Well stocked except for a clean towel which I would have appreciated.

Had a fantastic stay, nice private curtains in dorm but my one qualm was the bed was very hard and the room was hot, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Other than that I loved the hostel

Great place to stay. A calm and clean place. Only thing I can think to complain about is the shower pressure. One time it was fine, then the next time it was barely a dribble, despite no one else using the showers at the same time. Otherwise was a perfect stay.

It was my first time in a very long time in a back packers sharing all common areas. I feel a cleaner should be on hand to clear the areas left messy by alot of people with low cleanliness standards. The kitchen shared equipment needs to be update ie fridges & cupboards. The room I shared was stuffy with no windows and a noisy air vent humming all night so this was uncomfortable. A lovely senior staff member helped with our non working room facilities. Air con should be in every room esp with 2 or more people sharing. The view and location was amazing. Linen clean and comfy beds. I would request a room with windows next time. As we were on a road trip parking was an issue when unpacking our personal effects. possibly obtaining a few spaces in the back of the complex would be convenient. all in all a pleasant 2 day stay.

It's all about location and staff here, particularly Gillian. (And, they answer their phone!) She was extremely helpful, professional, and kind. It's thanks to her and her knowledge of the North Island that I found some cool spots to hang out in. The kitchen and common room have a beautiful (although somewhat obstructed) view of the ocean, and are spacious. There were enough showers to go around, although I think some additional common toilets could be added--two per gender weren't enough. I stayed in a private room two nights and a dorm for one. Both were comfortable stays. When I moved to the dorm, I was worried about noise as it was right next to the common areas. But staff were good about closing the door at 10:30pm. Some hooks or additional racks would be handy in the private room bathrooms. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Very clean and functional. Well suited to a young person/people. I did feel I get get better value for money by spending a little bit more and staying else where.

The hostel was very friendly and safe. There was a fantastic lounge area that we used for cooking and leisure time. The view was beautiful and they let us leave our large bags in a locked room and use the bathroom and facilities after we checked out (while we waited for the bus). It was very clean and the only negative is that the shower door didn't hang completely straight. I would definitely book again!

The uniqueness of property is its location bang opposite to shore. Staff is very helpful, resourceful and kind. Unfortunately, room allotted to me had no window or air duct. It was a bright shine warm day and temperatures were in early 30s. Inside room temp was hot & humid. I spent almost till 11:30 in dining area so that inside room temp is bearable and once you are so tired and sleepy you do not feel anything around. Same was complaint from other guests. Rooms have no air duct or window. Fans were also average at least coolers would have somehow helped. But other than this drawback everything else is super cool.

This hostel is in the perfect location! It has a beautiful view of the bay from the kitchen and common area with plenty of room to sit and enjoy the view! The room I was in was quite small (4 bed female dorm), and the luggage lockers are a bit tricky (made of wood and can swell with the heat), but you don’t spend much time in such a beautiful place, so everything worked out just fine! I met several of the staff during my stay there, and they were all incredibly nice and welcoming! They gave great suggestions for food and activities as well! The view alone would make anyone want to stay here, so the friendly and helpful staff, and clean bathrooms, kitchens and showers are an incredible bonus! I would definitely stay here again!

The lodge itself is in an amazing location, The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgable in their advice re trips, the rooms were comfortable and the privacy curtain was a nice touch, shower room was amazing clean and bright, kitchen was also spotless with three areas to cook and the view from the dining table was amazing - It Would have easily rivalled what you could have got from a 5star hotel - all in all very enjoyable experience and I look forward to staying on another Haka lodge

Friendly staff. Great location. Clean, spacious kitchen and lounge area. Limited reserved parking but cheap. Room 11 was noisy because of air conditioning which didn't work very well. Stuffy, hot room with no opening windows. We stayed at Haka Lodge in August 2019 but in a different room and had no problems..

It is worth it just for the views!! Great wooden bunks which are really comfortable. Each comes with a privacy curtain, light and socket. Although in my bed, the light and socket were at the opposite end to the pillow. Big kitchen and lounge area, with plenty of space to cook and eat. Really good wifi in the common area, but not so good in my room, at least. Bath and shower rooms were clean, although two of the showers were out of order when I was there (and one is reserved just for staff). Centrally located, with a supermarket just a couple of minutes walk away and plenty of choices to eat if you don't want to cook.

Overall a very well equipped and modern-looking hostel with great location. I advice not to count on the reception staff if you need something urgent done. I was rushing from the pier to catch a bus at 1.30pm on a Sunday and only had few minutes window of time to pick up my luggage in the storage. To my surprise, there was no reception staff available, and the luggage storage was locked. I tried calling the staff through the phone number they provided TWICE and continuously buzzed the buzzer on the counter but no one picked up nor responded! I was beyond stressed and frustrated as my bus has arrived and about to leave. I went to every room possible and shouted anyone works here? Then, I've got one random staff in the hallway who tried to help me but she doesn't even have the passcode to the storage herself. Overall, it was a very frustrated end to my stay at this hostel, otherwise I'd have rated highly for this place as the facility and location were great.

The Haka Lodge was great- close to everything in town, clean, comfy beds, with a big kitchen and common area. People were courteous about the quiet areas and about cleaning up after themselves. My top bunk was a little cramped but it was nice having a personal light and shelf, a privacy curtain, and a locker under the bed. I would definitely stay again!

My room was clean, pleasant but very hot however there was a very effective fan. The view across the bay from the lounge, dining room/ kitchen is stunning! Plenty of shops for self caterers or restaurants and cafes if you want to eat out. Staff very helpful. All activities are bookable by Hakka staff or 2 min walk across the road. I would recommend this hotel to all. Note-The 'Cream' tour is not available on days when Cruise ships are in the Bay, it is also very busy generally.
