Good stuff- clean, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, lovely showers, some staff were really friendly and happy to help. OK location, plenty of room to relax. Bad stuff- we went during school holidays- avoid this and you will probably have a better experience! I don't mind, as the kids seemed to be having so much fun- but you couldn't get... More

I stayed at Kiwi Paka Rotorua several years ago and really liked it, and its been a while since I've been to Rotorua so not knowing anything else I booked it again (this time a room with ensuite) - and okay, the place might be a bit tired and the bath mat was threadbare, but I still like it! Its... More

The hostel is very clean and has an excellent kitchen. The rooms are very good aswell. The staff is amazing - they help you with everything. You can get continental breakfast in the morning and there's a hotpool that you can use for free. It's 10 minutes walk to the citycenter.

Nice YHA, good location. Great SPA-pool It is really quite at night. Staff are friendly. The hostel is a bit run down and would benefit from a bit of renovation. Really good value for money everything considered.

Stayed in one of the lodges (just a dbl bed in a room) but it was clean with carpet and bed linen provided. Bathroom wasn't anything to shout about but there was a hot pool in the middle of the place, a bar, cafe which did huuuge cheap brekkies and v friendly staff.

That said, although the room had seen better days, it was clean and spacious (containing a double and a single bed). The staff were amazing and really looked after their... More

I stayed at the Kiwipaka in Rotorua for 6 nights over the 2012-2013 New Year. I stayed in an upstairs lodge room which was small but suited my needs as a solo traveller. The staff were very nice and were all willing to give advice on what to do or see on a budget (PERFECT!) However, the lodge is very... More

I had a great 3 nights staying in one of the Chalet's at Kiwi Paka over the new year period. The bar was open but quiet, the drinks were very cheap, with $4 handles over the happy hour. Ordered some dinner one of the nights which was reasonable and tasty (Chilli Fries were great!!) The staff were very helpful and... More

We had an awesome stay at the Kiwi paka. I had 4 girls aged 17 and 18. The other tutor with me had 3 girls and 2 boys also aged 17 and 18. As youth tutors we have often found people judge our students and often treat them rudely. The staff at the Kiwi Paka were absolute gems to our... More
