I have been to a lot of good hotels as well as hostels in NZ but this is without doubt simply the best! It's not the super clean interior and the seaview but also the AMAZING big kitchen, lounge - it's all like being home from home!! It's hard to find people so nice, welcoming and friendly!!!! Thank you guys,... More

I am not a hostels person so perhaps I am being harsh not giving this place a perfect score. I had a queen sized bed. The room wasn't much larger than the bed (which I have no problem with). It was a nice firm bed and there is an electric blanket. All in all a good nights sleep. While I... More

One of the best hostels we have ever stayed in. The beautiful old wooden house is warm and inviting and John and Helen are perfect hosts. The kitchen is very well equiped and the cosy lounge has a large picture window to view the spectacular sunsets over the sea and Mana Island. This is our third visit, and we're looking... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. We had the seafront queen room with view of the bay. The room was very clean and nicely done. The kitchen was very well equipped and it was fun to cook with a lot of other people together. There is a small garden, where you can sit and drink... More

Moana Lodge is a true home away from home. It is clean, cosy and I just loved it. Unfortunately I was only able to stay for one night on this visit but I definitely intend to return for a few days of relaxation, walks on the beach and reading my book in the big lounge overlooking the ocean. It is... More

This is one of the best "hostels" in New Zealand and that's saying a lot. I have stayed there three times now altogether (betw. 2004 - 2012) and can recommend it wholeheartedly. Very clean, very well kept, a spacious, well-equipped kitchen, very good mattresses, some rooms have really nice sea views ... . The owners are very knowledgeable about the... More

Moana Lodge is not like many of the hostels I've been to, it feels more like living in a big shared house. When you arrive they ask that you take your shoes off at the door which gives you the feeling they really want to keep the place nice. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and none of the... More

You will pay a little bit more, but it is more than worth it. The owners are really helpful and friendly. The place is spotlessly clean. The beds are so comfy. The views, even from the non sea view rooms are gorgeous. The kitchen was the best we've used. So well equipped with great facilities. Quite simply, this is a... More

The owners were extremely nice and helpful and we managed to have a reservation here all tough we stayed at Moana Lodge during the Wellington rugby 7's. The place was really nice and clean and quiet. The train station is close (only 15-20 min walk away) and if you want a glass (or two) of wine at night there is... More
