Haka Lodge

Part of a small Kiwi chain of higher-brow hostels, the warren-like Haka has cosy dorms with solid bunks that include large lockable storage chests, privacy curtains, personal lights and electrical sockets. There's a one-bedroom apartment attached, with its own kitchen, spacious lounge, laundry facilities and private deck where you can watch paragliders swirl down from the gondola.
