The bloke that served us was top notch but the actual accommodation was a bit of a letdown. I was travelling with my mates and we were on a tight budget and the price was not horrible but I felt it was a bit steep for what we got. The place was all locked up when we got there giving off the feeling that it was not too popular. The room was alright but the TV was fuzzy and there was no wifi available, even though it says it on the website. We just felt like this place was a bit run down and not as good as we thought from looking online.

Bit far to walk at night after a lake cruise as you walk past bars and strip joints then used car yards which are dark. Room was fine (dorm) with a multi power outlet to charge your gear but there was a very noisy man on his phone outside talking til past midnight so annoying.Nice verandah upstairs to see the view and sit at, ok breakfast of cereal and toast, wifi available.

Response from Solarpowered_12, Manager at Tiki Lodge
Responded 29 Nov 2019
I hope you feel somewhat happier in yourself for a very untruthful rant. Our hostel is not full of bed bugs and cockroaches as you claim and can be vindicated by all the many happy guests who are booked and currently staying with us. We currently have new summer staff and if you had an issue with the pricing they would have phoned the owner for clarification, they did not. If you were disputing an online price then please be aware that we have one price across all OTA's who then may choose to alter those without advising or consulting with us. If these business' choose to discount our prices they are taking that discount out of the commission they charge us to use their websites. This is out of our control, also be wary of what you are looking at on these sites ie # people, type of room and currency, these are common clashes we deal with. We are sorry you seem to have had a less than favorable experience.

Very enjoyable stay! Stayed in a family room- just two of us! We had a kitchenette complete with microwave toaster, kettle and a full size fridge! Shared a bathroom with one other room! We had our own tv and found the room very clean! Girls on reception were very friendly!

The hostel itself is great with very friendly staff who advised me on the beat day to do my skydive. Check on was easy and they offer free luggage storage. The location is ideal, close to the main street with all the bars and restaurants. The room itself was spacious the only downside is the lockers aren't in the rooms. There was also a really bad smell in the room for my entire stay. Ok for a few days but would have asked to move rooms if i was staying any longer.
