Up front, I want to be clear that this is a hostel. We were pleased with a very clean room with comfortable bed. We hit a snag with check in that the late staff dealt with that night. Their response, and the follow up with us the following, goes a long way to the positivity of our stay.

We recently stayed at Haka House for two nights to attend the World of Wearable Art Show in Wellington. We were able to catch the Airport Express Bus to the Courteney Place stop, then walk to Haka House. There are a lot of restaurants nearby and it is only a couple of blocks away from the waterfront, which is a perfect way to explore the city. It is also almost directly across the road from a large New World Supermarket for supplies.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids felt welcome here. Supringly quiet and dark rooms, loved the curtains on the bunks. Staff were great. Great to have a supermarket and are Te Papa on doorstep. Some instant coffee and a couple of tea bags would have been a nice touch.

Excellent location! So close to food/transport/attractions. Room was incredibly compact but had an amazing view over the fire station. Main grumble is the app didn't work as an alternative to a key card and that was the only reason I downloaded it.
