"Really nice Lodge with breakfast included. Very quiet location where you get a good night sleep. Big, well maintained garden where you can spend time reading a book or just relax. Clean rooms, parking is free, staff was welcoming and helpful finding a good restaurant for dinner. Would book again when in the area."

"Check in was super easy and contactless. Our accommodation at Mamaku Cottage was clean, peaceful and contained everything we needed for a more than comfortable stay. We really enjoyed the lush green surroundings with easy access to tracks and the local cafe/pub. We even had a morning visit from a number of cute wekas! Would definitely recommend and will book again in future."

"Apart from the mens shower having no pressure unless it was on cold, we really enjoyed the stay. My six year old loved George the horse who was very friendly and gentle. The kitchen and outdoor facilities were great. The room was clean, but we found someone else's Vaseline under the bed which was gross; when checking to see if any of our kids toys were left there."

The outside garden view seating is very peaceful; shared kitchen has everything one could need and is a nice social space. The muffin for breakfast might be the best I have ever tasted and farm fresh eggs are a major bonus.

My first time staying at a Haka House hostel and I was blown away! They kindly let me check in early as my bed was ready and a towel was provided upon request. I stayed in an 8 bed female dorm but it felt more like a 4 bed because of the way the room was divided. The beds were very well thought out with little shelves, a reading light, outlets, and a privacy curtain. The lockers were huge. Bathrooms were clean and shampoo, conditioner, and body soap were provided which was a pleasant surprise. I...

We appreciated the manager letting us shift our separate rooms to one two bedroom cottage at the last minute. As the heavy rains came during the night, we were beyond grateful that we were not in a tent or in a small metal "economy room" with no bathroom! We were safe and sound in a lovely two bedroom cottage with a well equipped kitchenette, large living room, covered deck and a walking path to the ocean (before the rain came). We were only there one night, checked in late and left early, but...

Very tidy and warm accommodation, the only one issue during my stay was couldn’t find a towel at all, and reception already closed before 6PM meaning no one to ask.
But I can say fantastic place to stay with overall impression.

What an amazing hostel! Comfortable room, great wifi, everything was clean, but what I especially loved what the overall character of the place. There is a big inner courtyard with plenty of seating and hammocks for guests to hang out. The entire place is painted with bright cheery colors. Owner was super friendly. Wish I could have stayed a few more days.
