Why we recommend it
Haka House Auckland City is a newly refurbished hostel at 5 Turner Street, just off Queen Street in the city centre. It is one of the most practical budget bases in Auckland, combining dormitory beds with private rooms and a full set of shared facilities. The property displays a Qualmark 5-Star Silver Sustainable Tourism Business Award.
Accommodation covers a wide range of budgets and travel styles. Shared dormitories range from four to ten beds with shared bathrooms, and there are two female-only options: a six-bed dorm and a 20-bed dorm with three ensuite bathrooms and its own private lounge area. Private rooms include twin rooms with either an ensuite or a shared bathroom and king rooms with an ensuite, which suit couples and friends who want privacy without paying hotel prices. Rooms are heated.
Shared facilities are strong. There is a fully equipped kitchen with food storage lockers, a dining and living room, a lounge, a movie room and a pool table and foosball table for evenings in. Laundry facilities, a lift and free Wi-Fi are provided, guests have 24-hour access to the building, and paid luggage storage is available, which is useful if you arrive early or leave late. The hostel also advertises co-working deals.
Cooking for yourself is an easy way to keep costs down, and the kitchen and food lockers make that straightforward. The central position just off Queen Street means much of the city centre can be explored on foot.
The hostel suits backpackers, solo travellers, students and budget-minded couples, as well as groups travelling together who can book a dorm between them. The female-only dorms offer extra reassurance for women travelling alone, and the 20-bed female dorm's private lounge gives its guests a quieter space away from the main common areas.
Haka House is part of a wider group, with a separate K Road property in Auckland. Book through the Haka House website, where room types and current rates are listed, or phone the hostel on +64 9 956 7408. Check-in times and reception hours are not published on the main page, so confirm them before arrival if you are landing late at night.
