Pacific Coast Lodge and Backpackers

Very cosy place with feels like a home Very kind staff

A little cold everywhere

Beautiful hostel with a vibe as cheerful as Mount Maunganui itself. Friendly staff, always willing to help. I had a little mishap because I lost my wallet, and a very kind girl immediately helped me, along with other hostel mates. It turns out I dropped it in the hallway near the bathroom. It was a terrible scare, but nothing serious happened 😅 When I arrived, I asked if they could give me a bottom bunk, and not only did they offer it, but they also upgraded my room. I'm so grateful for that. I only stayed one night, but it was my last night on Mount Maunganui after six incredible months living here. Thank you to Pacific Coast Lodge for hosting my farewell. Thank you for everything Mount Maunganui ❤️

There are no lockers in the room, but the place and the area are so safe that I don't think they're needed

Very inviting feels like home...clean,tidy yummy smells

Air con in room 22 only cold air I have a health condition and need to stay warm.

The person at the reception was very helpful and friendly. I arrived a little late and he still took the time to show me everything.

Beds are terrible; you can feel every single spring. It wasn’t very clean either. Bathrooms are old. I didn’t feel comfortable. Also, in the middle of the night, a guy came in and left early morning again. According to the reception he was booked, but I still felt a little uneasy. It was hot and humid. I decided not to book another night and unfortunately I can’t recommend.
