Beachcomber Lodge & Backpacker

"The beds were good and the room was quite big. Also the kitchen was big and well equipped"

"The lady in the reception wasn't very enthusiastic. Also the kitchen was very dirty, lots of bugs and they closed up the kitchen and the hotel during the night. The village is very quiet and no restaurants after 7p.m."

"Enjoyed the lounge and pool table - was a nice area to unwind after a long day."

"No place to charge my phone - but was no biggie as had a portable battery charger."

"We stayed at Beachcomber Lodge & Backpacker in Kaitaia and had a very pleasant experience. We stayed in a shared 6-bed dorm, and the room was clean and well maintained. The bathrooms and toilets were shared, which is standard for this type of accommodation. We especially liked the large, well-equipped kitchen. It was very spacious and had all the necessary kitchen utensils, with several sinks, multiple stoves, and plenty of fridges, which made cooking very convenient even when the hostel was busy. There was also a spacious common lounge area with books and board games, as well as table tennis and a pool table, which was a great bonus for relaxing in the evenings. Free parking was available on the hostel grounds, which was very convenient for those traveling by car. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and overall the hostel offered a comfortable stay with good facilities and a nice atmosphere. A solid choice for budget travelers in Kaitaia."

"The bunk bed in the shared room had a broken ladder on the top bunk, which made some noise when I climbed down while others were sleeping. Also, the kitchen and common lounge are closed at night, so access is limited during late hours."

"Good sized room. The facilities were cleaned regularly and to a good standard. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious."

"The mattress on the bunks were a little bit uncomfortable."

"Stayed 1 night, comfortable and clean, good well equipped kitchen and nice communal areas, close to local shops and takeaways etc"

"Aucun."

"Staff very friendly. Plenty of parking. Room was nice and quiet."

"Aucun."

"Almost everything, great people and value for money was decent. The rooms are nice and I was even upgraded."

"Only slight gripe was that the room backed onto a property that had a heap of very loud dogs that were mostly fine but occasionally fired up"

"Everything. It met our requirements. This will be our 1st choice always now."

"N/A"

"Good value for money - I had a whole dorm to myself which was delightful!"

"The socialising area is outside the dorms so a friendly and joyous party until midnight made it tricky to sleep. It was a Saturday night though so I guess it was fair enough for the seasonal workers who seem to be accommodated there to want to relax!"

"It provided everything required. The common areas were well equipped and the other guests were all very friendly."

"I was not told that the carpark would be locked overnight until 7am, and ended up losing 2 hours from my itinerary as a result. The bed springs felt very unstable and it was the flattest pillow I have ever used."
