"Location was the only plus (lakeside, 5 minutes walk from Steamer Wharf). Negatives: tired, scruffy, very poorly equipped kitchen, same twin room we had last December STILL stank of cigarette smoke. Room needs some hanging space and/or shelves. Showers need to be completely replaced."

"I had a great stay at Haka. The staff were very helpful, my room was good and everything was very clean. It was also in a great location and walkable to everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again."

Small but comfortable queen bedroom with private bathroom was newly renovated; convenient kitchen and laundry facilities, plus a hangout area on top floor that had a bar, pizza and pool table. Close to town center, everything was walkable or public transportation available.

This was one of my favorite backpakers in New Zealand. Trendy place in great location close to restaurants. There were 3 of us and we got our own clean 3 bedroom. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use it but computer/lounge area looked so comfy after a long day touring town.

This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget but still want your own room. I like that it’s kind of out of the center too. The staff is wonderful....they let me store my luggage long term while I did a couple tracks and I left my tablet behind and they took their time to ship it to my final hotel so I’ll have it back before I leave. Awesome!
