It’s a great location to get to the crossing (if weather permits!) staff are lovely and there is a lot of kitchen space. Climbing wall if that’s your vibe. It’s a bit basic in terms of other kiwi hostels but good value for money.
This is the best hostel I have been so far. I can see the passion of the host. He loves bringing people together and he does not want to rip you of which I realy appreciate.
Close to the lake, great location. Budget friendly.
Hostel with a great location to the Tongariro National Park. Friendly Staff, big kitchen and shuttle service. Best of all, there is a climbing hall in the hostel! Highly recommend to stay here!
The lodge is bright and colourful. We had our own bunk room which was close to the bathrooms. The kitchen was big with lots of utensils. Great location for anyone doing the Tongariro Crossing or exploring the National Park. Adjacent bar was fun to pop in to and staff at both the hostel and bar were very friendly. Can highly recommend catching sunrise, the stars and sunset.
After 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.
A great hostel - clean, well-equipped and cheap. We had an en suite double room - very comfortable and clean. Perfect base for our hike on the Tongariro Alpine crossing. Seemed like the majority of guests were more mature, like us, but one young lad also said it was the best hostel he had stayed in.
Good 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.
