Look at the price, adjust your expectations accordingly, and you will be quite satisfied with this hostel. It's an older home that shows wear, but the spirit and the staff are both friendly and welcoming. The hostel is located on a steep hill and the parking is very limited; however, many services are nearby. The kitchen is complete and the... More

If you are looking for an affordable place to stay near all of the attractions in Auckland, I suggest you consider Lantana Lodge. Not only is it affordable but the hospitality is first rate. We only stayed two nights but by the end of our stay we had met and made friends with many of the other guests. As previously... More

Eaven though the staff was very nice, helpful and proffesional. The old house is running a bit above capasity to say the least. The kitchen was always so packed that we could not cook there. The room was located in the basement and smelled of mould. The bathrooms are old and dirty and also always packed so you have to... More

We stayed here twice, once for three nights and then for two nights a month later. We stayed in the same rooms both times, with a double bed and bunk beds for the kids. The room also had lockers and a fridge. The beds were comfortable with clean linen, and the window opened to let fresh air in! The price... More

I was there in November 2010 Everybody knows that NZ is quite expensive and if you've been there you will also know that, at least in Auckland, the hostels never include wi-fi for free and they charge you a lot... However, at Lantana they give you "vouchers" ( a lot of them) to use either with your laptop or at... More

I stayed at Lantana Lodge at the beginning of my trip to NZ for 3 nights, and came back for a few nights at the end of my trip, after I'd toured the North and South Islands. I stayed in a room with just 4 single beds- ideal to catch up on sleep after the long flight from the UK.... More
