Our unit was amazingly clean- one of the nicest cleanest places we've ever stayed. Grounds were lovely too. And really convenient location in Hahei. Great fish and chips at the ice cream shop, and coffee at the little blue penguin pop up- makes all the difference! Hosts were very nice friendly people. gave us some flexibility too after booking which was appreciated. We'd certainly stay again and have already recommended to a friend.

Great Staff, Comfy clean spaces

Reviewed By Sawhira

The staff, location, cleanliness, hot showers, great wifi, well equipped kitchen & lounge ….. Max the small dog, all make Juno Hall one of my favourite places, whether I stay in the lodge or camp outside. I really enjoy bringing visitors here, or even stopping over when enroute through the region. So close to waterfalls, caves, natural bridge.

Great host, nice location

Reviewed By Doiley13

Tui lodge has a very accomodating host, she made us feel at home. The rooms are basic but comfortable and reasonably priced. Perfect place for a group visit. It’s located about 10 minutes walk from the township, but far enough away to feel your in a rural location. Great kitchen facilities and the use of an outdoor bbq, there is a great outdoor area perfect for soaking up the coromandel sun.

Put off on entry

Reviewed By vighb

We have paid for a night here. The room itself was ok. Good price and seemed clean. However , we didn't stay. It looks like an abandoned barracks. There was no one around. Couldn't see another guest. Lovely check in lady. Very hospitable. However, right next to pub and supermarket which could be handy, but we didn't feel safe there. Looks unloved and unsafe-Looked derelict and unwelcoming. We left immediately after paying. Not for us.

Hero to Zero

Reviewed By AtomantCancun

This backpackers WAS great. Since changing owners the prices have increased by more than 100% and the service has gone from great to terrible. You can't get worse than no staff on site when you need them. I don't mean that the staff popped out- they leave a key on the counter and are not there at all. In addition, despite the prices which are now very close to hotel costs for non-dorm rooms (increased by more than 100%) , they continue to use reviews which say great value based on prices before they increased them, which is deceptive.

Modern, cosy hostel

We had booked a double room with ensuite for one night and were very happy with our choice. The room was quiet, the hostel clean, and we enjoyed the cosy atmosphere of the shared facilities, large kitchen and dining room. Good opportunity to meet other guests. Very friendly and hospitable owners! We will be back as the area around Turangi has a lot to offer.

Loud and very basic

Reviewed By AmysTravelling

We stayed in a Standard Room with Communal Bathroom. It cost $125 for the two of us. The room was a good size. The room was very basic - probably too basic. There were no cups or glasses in the room, despite their being a kettle and tea/coffee. The remote to the tv didn't work. We found a skittle on the floor when we first arrived so not sure about their cleaning process. There were not many power outlets. The hand dryers in the women's bathroom didn't work. But the biggest complaint is that there is no soundproofing whatsoever so you can hear every footstep and voice in the hallway. It is in a fairly good location.
