I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay a high rate like that you should expect more.
Staff were great, room was great, only thing that was disappointing was the TV, it only had netflix which was fine but it would buffer so I couldn't watch any tv. I ended up watching on my phone.
Awesome to stay here, be one of the cleanist hostels I've stayed in, great friendly staff and super helpful with directions and local attractions. Defo recommend and would stay here agsin
It was beyond my expectation.Hostel has pretty chilledout environment.Reception staff was very nice and welcoming.Very convenient location.Bustop,restaurants,lake,skyline is just 5-7 mins walk.For short stay and budget accommodation this is best option.Pods were neat and clean.
Solo traveller here on a snowboarding trip stayed in the 6 pod room with ensuite for 4 nights and really pleased with my stay. Communal lounge and kitchen were warm and very clean. Bathrooms and showers were clean overall. Some of the showers didn’t have their shower doors close quite properly though so water would splash out quite easily so after a few showers the bath mat was soaked. But the staff had cleaned and dried the shower by the next day with a fresh bath mat so all good. Only needed to interact with reception staff a couple of times but they were all good and helpful when I did. Room was warm enough and even on the winter nights, there were some nights I had to kick the duvet off because it was too warm. But would rather have that than being cold. Luckily my fellow roomies were pretty chill too which made the stay nice. Also great that it’s so close to town and bus stop to go to airport. Will definitely stay here again.
The staff were very friendly the location was super convenient the only issue was there happen to be a lot of loud construction in the area at the time but that really wasnt the Hostel’s fault
Good location, a short walk to town so you don't have to deal with the loudness!
Was a bit weird having one toilet in the room for 6 people, and then 1 toilet in the hallway.
I could imagine there being a queue for the Toilet/Shower due to there not being too many.
The Lounge area is nice a big, great place for hanging out, and has a nice view towards the Lake.
It was a wonderful place to stay close to city inner town to shops cafes wharf near restaurants. The pods in the dorms are lovely to sleep in an private. Huge kitchen with equipment in it nice dining area . Lounge part. A balcony to sit on . Really excellent price.
I love staying at Tahuna Pod
Its the third time this year feels like home away from home
Staff super friendly and helpfull
Beds are so comfy and kitchen is funky and clean
Really recomend to stay there
