8/10 Very good

Interesting, funky setting, with a Maori morae (or facsimile) on the grounds. Good internet, nice to have pool access. Useful to have access to the full kitchen and meet other travelers, although we preferred to have a private room for 3.

Although a little quirky, and perhaps a bit tired Beachcomber Lodge provides a good backpackers hostel venue. There's a well-equipped guest kitchen and the room was fine.

Bed was comfy, common area was great. Only downside is probally the shower pressure and crumbs on the bench upon arrival. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

Not great value for the money

Fantastic receptionist, but confusing co-management with hotel next door. We had a "triple" room with a shared kitchen / living area. Shared areas were OK, but room was poorly maintained and a bit dingy.

Avoid

Avoid! Place was run down and dirty especially the kitchen with all the utensils etc dirty and flies everywhere. Had to check in at the motel next door for our keys but not informed of this in advance. It seems like a place with seasonal workers living long term and not in good conditions. This place needs to decide if it’s for local workforce or tourists because it needs a higher standard for tourism.

6/10 Good

We booked a room for 3 adults. Only 1 pillow each, no bedside cabinets, 1 teaspoon. I know there was a communal kitchen but a microwave would have been a nice touch and some cutlery and crockery. Bathroom was awful, small, 1 loose tap and an impossible to use small sink, if you bent over to actually spit your toothpaste into the sink, you hit your head on the soap dispenser very inconveniently located jus above sink! Paid $166 for it, expected a bit more tbh. Won't be going back there I'm afraid

2/10 Poor

Rattled my cage!

Your website indicated my bill would be $102; yet I was charged $400. I found it an embarrassing position to be in. My laptop went missing; after requesting a police report be filed, the laptop was returned the next day , when I was out. The New Manageress, Vicky, was upset about It and send the police report as if from her Home. The Reception Staff Member on Saturday admitted she had been having a nap when O tried to collect my luggage. I think they have staffing issues. I would like a refund. Nicky Bayley

Not a fancy place but darn handy and it had everything we wanted. Think summer cabin rather than 4 star hotel.

Good location!

Good location, next to KFC (So easy to find), near Pak 'n Save but out of town (Quiet, no stranger walking to/from the building). Carparking space is tight, rooms are good size, but amenities needs to be look at (No cloths hanger, faucet squeak when turn on, fridge is small, curtain blind does not cover the entire length of the openings).

Very clean and tidy, over the road from a lovely restaurant. Family rooms were away from the hussle and bustle and the marae was pretty cool! Very helpful and friendly reception staff.

Convenient, but loud

The hostel was very convenient for me, but the night I stayed, there were a lot of people there and it was loud as a result because my room was next to the social area.

홈페이지에 있는 방상태와 실제 예약된 방의 상태가 달라요. 홈페이지엔 전용 욕실이라 되어있는데 막상 가서보니 공동 욕실이었습니다. 전용욕실이 딸린 방을 쓰려면 돈을 더 내고 업글해야한다해서 결국 업글했네요.
