We loved our stay. Very friendly welcome on arrival. Moana Lodge is well looked after and bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining area and lounge are all super clean/tidy ..... feels a bit like home. Our family room looked straight across to the beach/ocean, amazing view. We were lulled to sleep by the faint sound of the waves. Excellent value for money. Cooking was a breeze with gas hobs, lots of good pots, wooden spoons, airfrier and sharp knives - a very organised kitchen with ample space to store your own food. Little cute village just down the road, with train station close by. Hustling Porurua 5 minutes away by car and an easy 25 minute drive into Wellington city. We loved our stay and will only stay here now when we visit Wellington. It is a real gem.

Beau d'extérieur et joli cadre mais c'est tout...

Hôtel avec Beaucoup de charme... Puis on y vit. Le ménage est fait très approximativement, nous sommes plus sur une auberge de jeunesse qu'une lodge. Wifi digne d'un 56k. Client qui ne respectent rien et personne ne cadre ceux qui ne respectent pas. Culotte et slip dans la salle de bain, ordinateur avec dessin animé des 6h du matin... Etc... La bâtisse est sympa bien que certaines pièces mériterait un bon rafraîchissement dont celle vu sur mer. Et surtout isoler les chambres !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not going back there.

The place is worn down and half of the place is rented out to the government to be used as a place for social cases. A woman was assaulted while I was staying there and the police came and took report. There were old bottles and dirt under my bed and some of the residents made med feel unsecure. I'm not going back.

Comfortable but loud

Comfortable hostel with a nice lounge but there were some regular residents who treated it like home and were very loud, which was a shame.

素晴らしいロケーションですが・・・

素晴らしいロケーションで避暑地、保養、のんびりするには最高の場所でした。ただ、車がないとだいぶ不便です。やはり1部屋か2部屋しかないようですが、シャワー・トイレ付きの部屋を使わないとだいぶ不便です。 もう1つ気になるのは、バックパッカーズとしての宿泊施設ですので、その宿泊者たちがだいぶ違う雰囲気の人たちなので、マナーが悪かったり、夜中までうるさかったり、夜中でもウロウロと動き回るのでだいぶ気になりました。また、部屋を開けての話し声や音楽もだいぶうるさい時がありました。 それ以外は本当に素晴らしい景色ときれいな海が目の前で部屋からの景色もとても良かったです。
