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.

Thank you once again Haka House. We love staying with you. Always love the staff at reception- always friendly and helpful. The young gentleman even remembered my daughter graduated the day before and asked how it all went. It’s those small things that make you feel part of the place and not just a number. Quiet, Comfy beds- lovely rooms. We loved our room with the sea view so beautiful. Thanks again.

Great stay for family with young kids. Public transport to and from everything/everywhere 100m away. Harbour view from family room great with bonus of fire station across the street. 2 bunk beds for kids had curtains both sides for each bunk which gave kids their own "huts" and enabled grandparents to retire later in same room.
