The 5 Best Hostels in Auckland (Updated 2025)
"Housed in two 120-year-old villas near K Road, I found Verandahs Parkside Lodge to be a family-run, warm and welcoming hostel with nearly every kind of room imaginable: shared rooms from three to five beds, single (non-bunk) beds with nice duvets, and small dorms so you never feel crammed; the hostel is clean with showers that have really good water pressure, a common room that feels like a living room, and a huge kitchen ideal for cooking—an excellent central Auckland location." - Matthew Kepnes
