Eco Lodge Pakowhai

Apr 7th, 2023

The good: the location is perfect. If you are backpacking in the country and you want to work in Hastings, this hostel is very well located. Not far from orchards, not far from the city. And John could help you with finding a job. The bad: despite the good location, and the access to jobs in the area, is the most dirty place I've been. Your $170 in average per week pays the bed, but don't expect to have clean facilities even tho there's a reminder everywhere that you need to clean your dishes. There's one person coming once a week to the cleaning and she doesn't have enough time to finish in that day. Showers are full of mould, bad smells, dirty old paint on the walls, mud around the whole place. But because it's a workers hostel, you might find nice people where you will make new friends for sure.
