Haka Lodge Christchurch

Who ever comes across this review please read, I would just love to share my not so good time at the Haka Lodge. The room I was staying in was ATROCIOUS there were 3 spiders and a cockroach in my pillow case and the room was covered in dust and condom rappers were found under my bed. In the morning I had I took the sheets off the mattress and was greeted by multiple bed bugs and some tics that had clearly tickeled me in the night as my skin was in distress and had gotten into my knickers !!! the bed I had slept on was as hard as a pile of bricks, it was very dirty as well as it had white sticky stains on it. I was very concerned for my well being staying there as an old man had tried to break into my room from outside my window screaming that he was going to suck my toes, as a vulnerable 28 year old woman going into this place on my own I was so scared for my safety.

Best hostel we have stayed in since we arrived in NZ a couple of months ago. Rooms are immaculate, bed comfortable. Shower areas are modern and spotlessly clean. Good kitchen, large lounge with new comfortable sofas, good plasma TV with sky sports! Staff very relaxed and friendly. Definitely worth booking if in Christchurch.

Had a great stay at Haka Lodge! We were there at winter and it was a very cold and rainy day and the kitchen was a bit cold in the morning. But warm water in the shower did really balance that. Windows are a bit thin, so you could hear the street a bit, but all houses in NZ are not very much insulated as at our home. Staff was nice and friendly!

One of the best hostel’s I resided at in New Zealand. Andy went above and beyond to make our stay impeccable. The entire lodge makes for a home vibe, instead of just a place to crash at. Extremely clean, well kept and organized. Saying this after experiencing 5-6 different hostels during my trip in South Island. Do not hesitate to book! If you’re part of haka tour and will stay here inevitably, then look forward to kicking back and having your needs taken care of here.

Absolutely fantastic place. Staying in self contained apartment next to house, sharing with another couple. Excellent value for money, super clean, far exceeded expectations. Out of city, bus from airport. Purple bus get off at St John's rd ( ferry rd is the main rd) walk down St Johns to end, take a left and first house on corner. $4./8 Go into Sumner beach, next stop down on same bus!! Cheers Haka!

Rooms are well equipped and clean. Common spaces are very nice! The hostel is quiet and in a beautiful setting. One down side is it is a little far from the CBD. However there are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby

Great place for foreign visitors, or people only staying in chch for a night. Has a strict no children allowed policy. So if you have children this isn't an option but if you're a couple that like child-free environments then this is definitely worth considering. Only thing is, this is more of a hostel style living. Shared bathrooms and showers (unsure of ensuite options) and a shared kitchen/dinning area. Great vibrant staff. Has free WiFi and great outdoor seating spaces. Not so great parking though. Very limited space.

Beautiful hostel! Very cosy, clean and well priced! We would defiantly stay here again! Street parking was available and the staff super friendly! In regards to the review below this Hostel is not in the CBD however its merely a short drive to get to the CBD or a bus if that's what your after, we had no issues with the Wi-Fi was free for us the whole time.
