Excellent value for money. Its central location in Dunedin allows you to easily kick off your day. The complimentary breakfast offered in the morning is also a great perk.
1. Prime location, with Great Lake view in front, 200m walk from local supermarket;
2. The facilities are good but also very horrible, really big kitchen and common room for guests to cook and eat, outdoor seats with BBQ setting, all kinds of cooking stuff, etc. but shower on the 1st floor is block and the entire toilet is flooded!!!! The basin is blocked also!!!! Flushing of Toilet sometimes doesn’t work, there is hairdryer;
3. I quite like the room, clean and quiet, there is a small light, usb port, and small cabin and curtain on the bed, 2 lockers for each guest, bed is very comfortable;
It was Easter 🐣 week so the shop was closed, so I called and they opened the door for me.
The shop is a bar, so it may be crowded on normal days, but I think it's a good idea to check with the staff. Everyone is very friendly and kind, so you can enter the room with peace of mind. The private room is as shown in the photo, and it even has a refrigerator. It was kept clean and very comfortable. It was raining and the outside temperature dropped, but it didn't affect the room. The shared space is the kitchen, shower and toilet, but this shop has been there since the 1800s, so you can feel the history. However, the kitchen has been remade and is induction compatible. I have only ever used gas, but I was able to use it without any problems!
I also decided on this hotel because I was planning to watch a rugby game. It is about a 15-minute walk away, and there are McDonalds and other places, and the street lights are basically on, so I think the security is not a problem.
I highly recommend this hotel over other Doritomi, so please give it a try!
Thank you for a wonderful time!
Really good hostel in the center of the city !
I was in a shared room of 4 beds. There were curtains wich is always appreciated. Room was clean. Beds are really comfortable. Quiet
Bathroom is also perfect.
Really good kitchen, well equipped.
This is a hotel that was converted from a historic prison. The staff are very nice and the guests are very friendly. It feels like a big family living together. It is not too far to walk to the city, so everything is very convenient.
Gute Ausstattung, es ist halt ein Hostel.
Leider auch etwas laut und die Hochbetten sind wackelig, sodass man merkt, wenn sich der andere unten bzw oben umdreht.

Hostel vibe that has everything you need. The location was great as it was very easy to walk the seal colony and whale watching tour.
We did our laundry their too which was easy to use and the host was very helpful with that as well as when we had issue with checking in.
A few hobs didn’t work in the kitchen which make it a bit challenging to cook if there were other people.
Very Good

YYangyang05The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal
MM470733****The location is incredibly convenient for the airport. With a 24-hour front desk, it's ideal for late-night arrivals or early-morning departures. The airport is just a 15-minute walk away, which is a huge plus given how unreliable local bus services can be. Getting to the city center is also easy; bus #29 will get you there in about half an hour.
9914JJThe Korean boss is friendly and enthusiastic, and will help answer any travel questions. Although the room facilities are not very new, they are all clean and tidy. It is not close to the city center, but it is still within walking distance. Parking is right in front of the room, which is very convenient!
AAnonymous UserGreat room, everything you need for the night.
Location not close to centre, but super close to the railway station for the Costal Pacific train, which was my reason for booking this motel.
Reception staff very friendly, even providing bottle of milk for the morning coffee!
GGuest UserWhen I arrived I was told I had an upstairs unit. Unfortunately I had a lot of luggage. Changing to a lower level was not possible. But an offer was made to assist me with the luggage.
I drove towards the unit and there is no available parking close by. I drove back to the front desk and explained my problem. They told me that they could move a car to allow me to park. One of the staff followed me back and took care of finding a space and also delivering a cone so that I could hold the space when I went out to dinner. He also came back to help with the luggage. So great staff! But the lack of parking (because they let people leave their cars there when they fly) would make me reconsider staying again.
I’d booked an Economy studio and was given an Economy two bedroom. Unit was a blend of older and newer features. Bathroom was updated but shower stall looked older and not as clean. Good water pressure.
Ordered breakfast at the on-site Restaurant. The waffles with berry compote & lemon curd was a large portion but very tasty. Great coffee.
GGUIYINGThe hotel has a parking lot and no breakfast, but the location of the hotel is very good. It is a few minutes away from the large supermarket, Chinatown and food street. It is very convenient to eat. You can also come to the supermarket to buy food and cook for yourself. This hotel has Chinese service.
GGuest UserThere are snow-capped mountains outside the window, and the scenery is beautiful. The hotel facilities are very good, exceeding expectations. It is very convenient to climb Mount Cook!
But there is very little food in this place, and there is no supermarket. It is best to bring some cooked food and bread and fruit with you.
But please note that if the cooked food has a strong smell, you may be charged extra
GGuest UserIt was my first time staying at a motel so I was a bit nervous, but they were very accommodating to my early check-in and the room was very clean.
There was also a laundry room, which was helpful for a long stay.
CCMWEHaka House Mt Cook is amazing! I stayed in the 8-person female dorm, and my section had 4 beds. I was lucky enough to get a bottom bunk, and in the other section, I was all by myself, which was perfect. There were plenty of bathrooms, and the dining area and kitchen were very spacious. Eating with a view of Mt. Cook outside was incredibly enjoyable!
I'd definitely choose Haka House again if I have the chance. There's also plenty of free parking, which is a huge plus!
