Relax a Lodge 3 stars

Kerikeri

Guests can relax by the fireplace in the guest lounge, or unwind in the hammock on the terrace. After a day of activities, you can share a meal in the barbecue area. The hostel also features free bicycle rental, and a free shuttle service to Kerikeri airport. A lovely little house provided with everything you would need. Beautiful orchards right outside. Very peaceful. Kerikeri is a great base for visiting other places like Russell. It also has great markets!

Haka House Bay of Islands

Paihia

Haka Lodge Backpackers is adult only and is within 10 minutes' walk of a variety of restaurants and bars. It is a 3 minutes' drive from Waitangi and 2 minutes’ walk from the ferry wharf which connects you to Russell.

Accommodation options includes adult only dormitory rooms and adult only private rooms with an en suite bathroom, a seating area, and a flat-screen TV. All rooms are heated and have linen provided. Great staff and location. The common area has an amazing view over the bay and is a great place to hang out on a rainy day. I was there in low season so it was quiet but still social. I kept extending my stay because I liked it so much!
