Haka House Taupo

Stayed two nights this long weekend. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is great, 10 minutes walk from downtown and not too far from the waterfront. The rooms are a little small, but warm and perfect if you're after a decent price for close proximity to town. The cooking facilities are clean and tidy. If you're bringing a car, there is a limited amount of parking on site, so be prepared to park on the street. Overall, a great experience and will be back if in Taupo again.

This is so close to the Township of Taupo, just a few streets to all the major shops and lake. It reminds me of a skiing lodge. Beds were very comfortable and a huge kitchen with all utensils pots and pans available. Id highly recommend a stay here. Undercover parking is available. Staff are the best, very helpful and friendly I couldn't complain about one thing. The views from the varanda is fantastic. I'll be staying there again

Great backpackers, with clean facilities. Rooms were warm on arrival, especially when it was a -3degree overnight. Some frost in the morning did make some areas slippery, but that is expected. We had an 8 dorm bunk room, 5 dorm bunk room and a 4 bedroom suite. All had own ensuites, although very small and close to sleeping areas. The 5 dorm bunk was compact. Beds were comfy. Linen and blankets provided in all rooms, and only the 4 bedroom came with towels. So bring towels for other rooms. There are lots of stairs as well. Plenty of areas to entertain around. Check in was easy and staff very helpful. Note 8 dorm room is in a separate building to the 5 and 4 bedrooms.

We had such a good time! This was the cheapest accommodation we could find in Taupo at the last minute. All we needed was a bed. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it was sparkling clean, comfortable, and in a great location. It's kind of like glorified camping, but gosh, it was nice to have a heater in our room. The bed was okay enough that we slept real good, and the showers were very very clean and easy to access. The kitchen had great facilities, even though we didn't use them. We loved everything about this place...and we kind of laughed to ourselves because the room was *JUST* bigger than the bed. But we slept good, and that's all we needed!

It was okay - clean, but bathroom not that good, had hot water with good force but needs renovation of the walls as doesn’t look good patch up . Could hear the guest on top of our room dragging chairs and stuffs around -very loud so therefore not sound proof. No tea bags or coffee. Stayed for a night only so didn’t ask the reception. Moreover the receptionist was friendly and welcoming. Bedding was clean and neat therefore had a good sleep. Room was very warm which I loved it.

We just stayed there for a night only. Good reception staff who took our reservation We just called directly before we reach there and she was very helpful to reserve our room. Many options for the rooms There is a large kitchen and dining area to use with full facilities The price affordable Neat and clean room

We got upgraded to the best suite and had a Beautiful view of the lake and it was nice and warm when we got inside. The Maori guy was Awesome to deal with and very helpful. Good vibes ❤️

Beds were clean and well kept, however the ensuite shower tap kept dripping throughout the night. The kitchen was very tidy and came with all the appliances you needed.
