I waited at least 10mins for service as the staff member folded sheets nearby. He must’ve seen me!

Had a very good stay, staff were very friendly and had good facilities. The only thing I’m gonna say is if you are in rooms 24-29 there is parking near the rooms but you got no access to the parking and would have to walk out of the property then walk around to get to the parking there. We used the main parking which is still a bit a of a walk. Also there is limited parking and when we came back from when we went out there were no parks available. Apart from that I did enjoy my stay with the Haka Lodge

Nice clean room. Didn't meet staff as I arrived late and left early. Was disappointed with the lack of respect for the quiet time hours. Was very noisy most of the night.

Hello, We are very sorry that we have had such a bad stay with us, we have many measures in place to keep the noise down after 10.30pm daily, I will look into the night report and the issues we had that night at our Hostel, again very sorry to hear. Enjoy the rest of your Travels

The room we had was perfect for just my partner and I and we had bathrooms literally next door which was so handy. Location isn't too far from town which was handy. One thing that was a possible let down was not enough parking spaces but we managed to find a park on the grass which was fine
