Tiki Lodge is an upmarket Taupo backpackers lodge with all modern facilities and a unique cultural feel. We cater for everyone including individuals, groups, families, school groups, sports groups, family reunions.
We have some excellent facilities on site, with free undercover off street parking for guests. We have a small tv room open 24 hours with tea/coffee making facilities, a large communal lounge (without tv)- ideal for relaxing near the cosy fire with a great book - This room is a favourite with guests who adore the large space to chill out without the distraction of tv noise. Our large kitchen, lounge, dining and deck areas are very popular places for socialising with and meeting other guests (busy season is November to May generally). A bbq area is available on the deck area also. Free luggage storage is available to all guests prior to or after check out. Guests waiting for buses later in the day are welcome to hang out in the lodge until they need to catch their bus (half day charges are available for guests catching buses after 8.30pm).
After experiencing the local adrenaline-pumping activities, a day’s shopping or a night on the town, come home to the comforts of our clean, warm rooms. Relax in our lovely outdoor spa or on the large deck to witness the most amazing views from our communal areas, including stunning sunsets over our beautiful Lake Taupo and the Central Plateau mountains.
Tiki Lodge is a safe and secure hostel located in an excellent area of town. We are located in a quiet area, in beautiful Taupo, one of New Zealand’s leading holiday destinations. Awesome Central location close to bus stations, shops, restaurants and Great Lake Centre, located just a short walk to the centre of Taupo for great shops, cafés, restaurants, nightclubs and close to the shores of our famous Lake Taupo.
