Best hostel in Paihia!

This hostel was one of the best I’ve stayed in throughout my time in New Zealand. The hostel was clean throughout, and the kitchen was one you actually felt comfortable cooking in! The facilities in the kitchen were also pretty extensive for a hostel which was great. The…

Kia Ora, Thank you SO much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very appreciative of the feedback!

Good

Pretty nice, clean hostel. Lounge and kitchen area are open and spacious with lots of plug ins. I found the dorm room (6 bed) I was in was very cramped, bags had to go in lockers under beds because there wasn't any other space. And I found it hard to access my things with my bag…

Kia Ora! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are incredibly appreciative of the feedback. So glad to hear you appreciated the thoughtful touches (plug-ins, cleanliness, large communal areas). Sorry to hear that you found the 6-bed room to be tight. We do offer a luggage storage room for over sized items, which can allow the under-the-bed storage to be reserved for smaller items needed on a daily basis. Glad to hear the wifi was fast! A nice little perk for sure. Wishing you the best and thanks again for the review! Lindsay

Good location but stuffy dorm

Location nice, kitchen and sitting room nice, nice view to the harbour, showers modern, rooms to small and so stuffy, a van had to run day and night... so very noisy, next time would go for a doubke room

Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it and are so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our stellar view, modern showers, location, and communal areas. Sorry to hear that you found the room to be stuffy. We have since installed fans for each bunk, and are looking into more permanent solutions. It's been the hottest summer on record up here, so we are working to adapt as the climate does. Thanks again! Lindsay

Paihia Stay

Great telephone service. The room was OK. We as two single females were concerned with having to share with 2 other males. The location was fantastic, facilites were great checkin and checkout were great. My only complaint was no air-conditioning in the room.

Hey thanks so much for your review! We love when our guests let others know about their stay. We do have female only dorms available, if our guests do not want to share with the opposite sex, but these do book up quickly so needs to be booked in advance. So glad you had great phone service, and that you loved our facilities - we wish we could have air conditioning in every room, but to keep our hostel prices as low as they are, unfortunately that's not something we can provide. Lots of hotels and motels in the area do offer air conditioning, but this is something that will increase the cost of your stay significantly. Thanks again for the review and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!

Hello! I was wondering if you offer cape reinga tours or full days tours around bay of island, paihia... I already reserve 2 nights bed in a 4 bed room. Cheers, Diana

Hi Diana, we can definitely book tours for you in and around the Bay - and up to Cape Reinga. There is a twin tour offer, which includes a discount on both the full day Cape Reinga trip and a half day trip out into the Bay of Islands. You can book this with our reception desk when you arrive at Haka Lodge. Thanks!
