How about something special?

In New Zealand there is a growing trend for hostels and backpacker lodges to offer a better, more upmarket (but still affordable) experience for their guests.

Dorm accommodation at Haka Lodge Auckland

The Haka Lodges, located in the South Island in Queenstown and Christchurch, and in the North Island at Paihia (Bay of Islands), Taupo and Auckland, have really gone that extra mile to please.

Bright, clean, modern, and with motel quality bedding and facilities, their lodges are very highly rated.

They are all centrally located, close to the action in each town or city, and their unique dorm "pods" offer you your own self contained area, featuring a private storage locker, a power supply, lighting, privacy screen, and quality bedding and linen.

Or if you want a little more privacy and luxury, their private rooms offer motel quality for a fraction of the price.

We can highly recommend Haka Lodges.

If you are visiting those locations, do yourself a favor, and check out what they have to offer:

Don't get caught without travel insurance.
