I have been visiting Waiheke Island several times for the last three years. Hekerua lodge became my favorite place in Waiheke not only for its convenient location, but also for it's friendly and community vibes. During my last visit, even though the island was not busy and the lodge was quiet, the vibe was a bit different. Some of the lodge rules were not clear and not followed by some guests, a couple nights were a bit noisy until the next morning, making some guests to feel uncomfortable.
A warm friendly welcome nVery friendly staf residents and guests.nVery relaxing.nGreat spa and Hot tub nKauri room was very clean and great location with french doors to the pool and deck area.nGreat deal.
Stayed here for 3 nights with kids 7 and 10 and mother. I mistakenly booked for 1 person but the friendly guests and owners helped us out, and we stayed together. Being spring the pool was empty it's getting a repaint soon and I was grateful too cold as my 2 boys had plenty to keep them occupied withe the hula hoops, board games, exploring the grounds and they made a friend in the owners son. All guests were friendly and the place has a very chill vibe. There was a birthday party on the 1st night but we had no trouble with noise in rimus 1 room. Would definitely reccommend for backpackers or people looking for cheap accommodation who aren't afraid of communal living.
Best Hostel I‘ve ever been to. Wanted to stay for a weekend and bow it‘s already more than am month. Living in the Hostel feels like renting a house with friends and family.nI would recommend it!
The best place to stay in Waiheke! Really comfortable, facilities and shared spaces are always clean & tidy thanks to their fantastic woofers. Very nice people from all over the world to share a talk or a glass of wine if you want.nAnd if you want to relax, there is a hot tube to be used and if you need to rest, rooms are very quiet and comfortable.nBest PIZZAS in the island!! Will miss pizza nights.n100% recommended!
