No aircon too hot in summer,no parking”

Dont recommend, they have an aircon unit in hall area which staff dont put on to a cool setting at all so its too hot inside and too hot to sleep. Also NO PARKING FOR 1 KM

Affordable basic stay”

Great staff and location. Only downside was the room had zero ventilation so was very stuffy and hot, and had food crumbs all under the bed. Good location for restaurants and beach.

Central location”

Clean, central located and friendly staff you will found in haka Lodge plus the most beautiful view of the beach right from the lodge living room

Great location”

It is in the center of the town. Well it might not be easy to find a free car park next to the hostel. Apart from that, all good!

Muy bueno”

This is a great backpackers , well set up and modern with awesome location Bathroom shower and basin needed a good clean and some exit mold - as build up in all the crevices . For a as new facility it just needed a toothbrush and elbow grease . ( twin share with on suite ) I expected better as have stayed before and in these Covid times ... staff member letting in all new arrivals kept complaining every time someone arrived too about having to get up and down

An awesome spot”

A huge common area made bigger with the massive windows facing the bay. Very comfy bunks plus some amazing staff. I would stay here a hundred times over on Paihia

Por encima de la media”

No internet in the room. The lift wasn’t working when we checked out.

Perfect! ”

We spent 2 nights in Haka Lodge during our road trip in New Zealand. The hotel is perfectly located and got all the facilities you are looking for. The pantry is huge, rooms and bathrooms are clean, staff super friendly. We definitely recommend this place!

Nice place terrible policies and staff”

We stayed here based on the recommendation of a friend. The facilities and location were amazing indeed. However the staff were less than helpful every time we approached them with a question. For example we arrived at 1 after a 5 h journey and wanted to quickly freshen up before our booked trip at 120pm. When we went to reception they said nope and trusted the key for the luggage storage in our face saying "chekin is only after 2" we explained the situation and without even checking if the room was ready or not they said "no". The courteous thing to do is at least check if the room is ready, if so fantastic - if not, fine we wait. We were very disapointed especially when this type of unhelpful response was continually given to all our questions. We even saw a staff member leave and close reception with a sign that check in will be after 3pm even though there were 3 other reception members present who could have taken over.

All good.The hostel is at the center of the city and very convenient for explorer Paihia. The room is simple but clean and the kitchen is useful. The dining area is so nice and comfortable and faces to the beach. You can see the good view from the window,I like it. (The shower pressure is not enough ,but anyway I recommend you.)

Another Exceptionally Outstanding Haka Lodge”

This was the second haka lodge I have been to during my travels around New Zealand and it whole heartedly lived up to the high standards the first lodge instilled. You would be hard pressed to find facilities on par with this haka lodge. You feel at home which is an immensely difficult thing to achieve for a hostel. It offers privacy for those that want it and plenty of social opportunities for those that seek it too. The view is absolutely incredible and you will find yourself waking up early to catch a glimpse of the sun rising. You couldn’t ask for a better location in paihia! You are within close proximity to everything you could possibly need. By far the best part of Haka lodge is it’s staff. They are helpful, friendly, attentive and most importantly “real”. I would strongly recommend this haka lodge to any one!

Budget comfit lodge worths the money”

Comfortable spacious common area allows travellers to relax and recharge

Nice location. Just walk a minute from i-site. ”

The view was very nice especially from Haka Lodge living room/kitchen. Big kitchen and open 24 hours.

!!! Good company !!!”

The Haka Lodge Paihia staff is amazing, they are super nice and very helpful. I enjoyed hanging out with them all especially with Patrick, Kali, Emily, Kevin & Lindsey, Thanks for everything you guys turned it into an unforgettable experience.

excelente! ”

El mejor lugar para quedarse. Estuvimos en una doble privada con baño privado. La ubicación espectacular! La buena onda del staff es destacable. La cocina es súper grande y cómoda. Volveremos!

Good choice but”

Location of the Haka Lodge is excellent - centre of town and only 5 mins walk to the docks. On arrival, the entrance was a bit tricky to find as its down a passage way off the main road but people around pointed it out easily. I arrived quite late at night, called the tel number on the door and access code to the building was provided. The view from the seat to roof glass window in the common room was really great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Amenities at the Haka Lodge were clean and comfortable. Free wifi signal was good. Overall it was a good option however the one thing that really let the place down and would be a reason not to stay again was the fact that there were no windows in the room. Staying in a 4 person dorm, the rooms were so stuffy so the door to the dorm had to be left open all the time. Considering that the rooms are pretty close to the main entrance, one also wonders about security. I stayed in Feb so can only imagine how bad it gets when its really hot.

okay”

GReat view from the lounge, a good kitchen and good beds. A very okay hostel with a lot of facilities and activities. Good option in Paihia! Have no complaints

Good, well managed hostel with great chill out area”

This was one of my favourite places I’ve stayed at in New Zealand. If you want somewhere you can go to relax and that doesn’t get noisy at night this is a great option. Location is perfect too, on the Main Street outside the wharf for ferry and boat trips etc. And also next to the iSite and intercity and manabus bus stops. Decent well equipped kitchen with lovely chill out area with views over the bay. Met some lovely people to hang out with here in the lounge. My private room was great with a comfy bed and the WiFi was reliable too. Oh yeah, the staff were great and offer you all the info on trips etc with a smile. Would definitely stay here again if I returned to Paihia. Thanks. :)

Fantastic location. Amazing view from communal areas. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful Only con- rooms very hot

Excepcional”

Amazing location and the staff were absolutely fabulous but... the 4 dorm room is so small it was almost impossible to get all the luggage in there and the rooms were so so so hot. I would stay again but not in a 4 dorm room.
