Beautiful hostel with a vibe as cheerful as Mount Maunganui itself. Friendly staff, always willing to help. I had a little mishap because I lost my wallet, and a very kind girl immediately helped me, along with other hostel mates. It turns out I dropped it in the hallway near the bathroom. It was a terrible scare, but nothing serious happened 😅 When I arrived, I asked if they could give me a bottom bunk, and not only did they offer it, but they also upgraded my room. I'm so grateful for that. I only stayed one night, but it was my last night on Mount Maunganui after six incredible months living here. Thank you to Pacific Coast Lodge for hosting my farewell. Thank you for everything Mount Maunganui ❤️
There are no lockers in the room, but the place and the area are so safe that I don't think they're needed
Excellent emplacement
Rien
Hermosa ubicacion, buen ambiente, staff simpatico, limpio, un poco caro los ultimos dias que era temporada “alta” por los kiwis.
Die Lage war sehr gut, sodass man schnell am Strand war. Außerdem hatte ich ein Schlafsaal alleine, was perfekt war (natürlich muss man Glück haben).
Die Betten waren leider ein wenig dreckig, sodass ich Haare von anderen auf der Matratze gefunden habe.
Very inviting feels like home...clean,tidy yummy smells
Air con in room 22 only cold air I have a health condition and need to stay warm.
Die Lage zum Strand ist gut. Man kann gut Leute kennenlernen
Das Hostel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Gerade in der Küche und im Aufenthaltsbereich ist alles schon sehr alt und gebraucht.
Das Personal war unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit .
Unter meiner Matratze waren Flöhe .
The vibe in the hostel feels like home
The shared girls room had good storage units mirrors and a sink etc. The showers were also very good. The quiet hours in place were very effective and on time.
Wasn’t always a lot of space to sit and eat people would take over a lot of table space for preparing food. Maybe need more kitchen surfaces near cookers etc. Difficult to light hobs often struggled to find a Woking lighter.
The person at the reception was very helpful and friendly. I arrived a little late and he still took the time to show me everything.
Beds are terrible; you can feel every single spring. It wasn’t very clean either. Bathrooms are old. I didn’t feel comfortable. Also, in the middle of the night, a guy came in and left early morning again. According to the reception he was booked, but I still felt a little uneasy. It was hot and humid. I decided not to book another night and unfortunately I can’t recommend.
The property was very clean and very spacious the common room chilled area was very nice met very cool people beds were absolutely comfortable the open plan kitchen to outdoor area was awesome wicked company and the staff were absolutely amazing nice work PCL ❤️🫰
What was not too like 😊
nice spaces inside and out
Super nettes Personal,sogar deutschsprachig. Man hat sogar eine Führung bekommen wo man was findet. Zimmer hatten kleine Waschbecken,superpraktisch zum Zähneputzen. Aufenthaltsräume waren auch bequem und man hat die gerne genutzt. Küche war auch gut ausgestattet und es wurde sehr auf Sauberkeit geachtet. Gut war,dass auch ausreichend Kühlschränke vorhanden sind.
very clean, fantastic staff, fantastic location, large kitchen, environmentally friendly
Great location. Loved having my own double room.
Thought the price was pretty high because even though I had my own room, it's still just a backpackers
room, location and clean
to noisy and lack of bathrooms
Good location, very clean, friendly and welcoming staff.
Very friendly staff, good kitchen.
Main road was very loud, but it was Saturday night so..
The host Letícia was really nice and showed me everything around and even gave me tips around town.
The room is very small for four people and it was very hot to the point that the small fan available wasn't able to cool the room during the night abd there was no air conditioner.

Nice hostel, nice lounge/kitchen area
Lovely staff, friendly and social environment and great facilities.
Nothing, perfection.
All good
The nice staf members and the social environment
Everything was nice
It was generally clean. There is a private bathroom, which is sometimes free.
The cabins are made of aluminum, and they creak a lot
Me quede aquí en marzo y he de admitir que hay jna gran diferencia entre el inicio de la temporada y el final. El hostel se sentía limpio y cuidado. Hay cortinas en las camas inferiores, y las neveras las note muy acomodadas.
Creo que hay pocos baños.
Communal and lively! Alfie was really nice! The kitchen space was big.
There were no sockets near my bed but I was okay with it as it was just a one night stay. Hope that when I return for a longer stay, I get a room with sockets!
The hospitality/vibe and the location. Right by the beach and a town, amazing
Even though it’s not a big issue but the only thing was that the tables outside were a bit dirty, but that would is such a small thing I doesn’t even matter
Nice spaces dinning / kitchen area , large cozy lounge area, close to shops , free parking.
the cold wet weather.
Location, the rooms and the staff mostly they were all very kind and helpful
Bunkbeds could be a bit taller, the bottom one doesnt have much space. And someplace to put your stuff when going to shower..
Near the beach, a great spacious Room with curtains on the beds.
The room was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable aswel.
I was happy with everything
Very clean considering it’s a hostel - free surfboard rentals, great staff and met great people I originally booked 3 nights but ended up staying 3 weeks
First world problems, but the ironing table needs replacing
You feel like home.
Nothing.
It's not a bad hostel
Without any charm Way too commercialized 5 minutes in and I hated being there Though it is a good hostel, just not what i personally want in a hostel
Friendly people, friendly staff and great music playing throughout the day. Decent facilities and spacious kitchen/dining area and a ping pong table too. Shops and beach just down the road and a popular cafe right next door
Although friendly and welcoming when shown to my room I was asked by the staff member if I had been here before and if he should show me upstairs. He must have misunderstood me when I said "I haven't" as he replied with "okay" and left. Kitchen/dining area was infested with flies. The F word is very popular here! And I can only assume that what I heard from behind a closed door was people sharing something naughty in the hallway
One of the night staff people at night told me I have to leave because I am a visitor and I was a guest, please ask before talk to people like that.
I love this hostel! ❤️ If I could, i would stay forever. This hostel is magic and a magnet for nice people. They never will leave again or always come back. Same as me. Greetings to the stuff and long-termers. It was a pleasure ☀️
Friendly, clean, functional
Not a lot of windows, so a lot of the hostel was a bit gloomy. Good common facilities.
Location is great. Not far from the town centre of the Mount. You can also park for free around the corner from the lodge.
The shower area was really wet and stuffy so hard to dry yourself and get dressed. My single bed had springs poking me in my breast and side of my knee, so awkward getting comfortable. Clients ignored the peaceful hours after 10 or 1030 and made a racket till midnight
No access to plugs on top bunk. Rooms not locked.
The room was clean bed comfy
That there was only one toilet to use for whole place I heard all night doors slamming shut Noisey
Great location. Easy access. It was awesome to meet tourists (I’m a New Zealander). I was there for work and needed somewhere cheap. Rooms are great and I loved the games shelf and table tennis
Would be better if access to tv upstairs was easier to use.
So friendly
Location was good. Free parking nearby, very sociable hostel - lots going on. Staff were super friendly too.
Hostel Room smelt awful. Not enough power outlets in the room for the number of people. One small fan which didn’t help cool the heat of the room. When I stripped the bedding after my stay, there was blood on the pillow which I didn’t like.
Lovely and comfortable with lots of space
Not enough bathrooms and location could be better
