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.

Very nice Hostel and in a very good Location

Excellent

Good enough for the price

The room had no ventilation no open window . Stayed in room 11 in summer with no open windows mid summer so hot an stuffy ..not to mention claustrophobic. All of which i think is pretty illegal ie no ventilation.

Basic, but very central. Used private room with possibility for parking. Nice view from the common areas

This is just a great place to stay, the location is stunning, the rooms and facilities better than most backpackers,very good value.

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..

Good stay. Just the dubble room is small and no aircon. But perfect located 😀

Great location fantastic views staff super friendly and helpful. Would stay again for sure.

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.

excellent location. good facilities. however power sockets in room 12 do not work.

The receptionist (a girl with a big ear holes) is really helpful and informative. The room is a bit small. Toilet and shower room are clean and in good condition.

Location and private rooms are great value. Good mix of backpackers and other travellers.

I would say is one of the best hostels I've ever been.

Stunning location; excellent accommodation with good amenities on site. Would highly recommend.

In the heart of town with awesome view, quick service from employees, accidentally put meds in Washer machine employee quickly stop machine and retrieved medication

Clean, big lockers under the beds, individual lamps and privacy curtains, good kitchen, great location. Kitchen a bit busy at dinner time, my bed had a small malfunction (impossible to lean back because the wood panel was detached).

The hostel is clean and with good facilities.

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 bedsheet look old. Private toilet size is good. Bed too soft. Very bouncy bed. Try convenient location. Free parking.

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!

The staff s are so helpful and quick response to my emails. The location and the view of the hostel are very great. Room is a little small but still very comfortable.

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.
