I'm a regular visitor to Taupo and Tiki Lodge is my favourite place to stay. All the facilities are modern and clean, the staff are helpful and friendly, the kitchen and dining area has a great view of the mountains and the town centre is just down the street. For those interested it even has a small outdoor spa. While... more

I stayed at this hotel & backpackers-type hostel July 6-8 2009. I was in a private single room (room B) that had 2 beds and its own kitchenette area. Rooms A & B are both on the ground floor and share a handicap-accessible bathroom. Behind those rooms there was an outside area with tables & chairs. The owners were friendly... more

Tiki Lodge offers free pick up and drop off to any buses - however some people do prefer to walk. We ARE a family run business, we have ONE small toddler and she lives here also. She's generally quiet and well behaved (although sometimes gets up to mischief). It's a bit unfair to comment on a childs' behaviour considering that...

Stayed for a night in Jan 2009. Supposed to be in a double room but they allocated a room with 6 beds all to ourselves which was nice!! Hostel is new (i think) or definitely newly refurbished. Helpful receptionist and great location. About 3 mins walk from town and all the bars!! Would definitely recommend! more

Fantastic place to stay with stunning views of the Lake and mountains. Our room was very clean and spacious (unlike some other places where you can't even swing a cat!!). The bathroom and kitchen facilities are clean and modern - with plenty of room to move about and there was a nice relaxing lounge with a cosy fireplace. The reception... more

This hostel was modern and clean, with good kitchen/bathroom facilities, good location etc. Most of the staff seemed nice but one was very rude and un-accommodating. She burst into our locked room several times, sometimes without knocking. Other guests we spoke to had also been intimidated by this same woman who threatened to steal their car keys (?). more

Rest assured - this was the typical behaviour of the Manager that the previous owner had in place... we still receive comments about how different the hostel is now!!! Under New Management.....

We stayed at the tiki lodge for two nights. The hostel is okay - it's clean, and the location is alright (a block from downtown Taupo). It doesn't really have any character or social scene - so if you're looking for a good time, look elsewhere. The only complaint I have is that the woman at the front desk (owner... more
