Excellent location! So close to food/transport/attractions. Room was incredibly compact but had an amazing view over the fire station. Main grumble is the app didn't work as an alternative to a key card and that was the only reason I downloaded it.

Excellent proximity to CBD and good value hotel/hostel. Big kitchen / dining areas, reception people were helpful, lifts work well. Room was well prepared. Shared toilet / bathroom areas seemed to get messy during the day; despite being cleaned earlier on.

Thank you once again Haka House. We love staying with you. Always love the staff at reception- always friendly and helpful. The young gentleman even remembered my daughter graduated the day before and asked how it all went. It’s those small things that make you feel part of the place and not just a number. Quiet, Comfy beds- lovely rooms. We loved our room with the sea view so beautiful. Thanks again.

The place had character. It was a bit further on the edge than others but convenient to the bus stop if you are tired of walking, right along the water & with a grocery store right nearby.

Great stay for family with young kids. Public transport to and from everything/everywhere 100m away. Harbour view from family room great with bonus of fire station across the street. 2 bunk beds for kids had curtains both sides for each bunk which gave kids their own "huts" and enabled grandparents to retire later in same room.

Only bad thing was the fridge did nothing and the cord in the kettle was so short looks like an accident about to happen as you don't have table, and the nearest place to power is on the bed. Other than that was nice.
