β β β β β My partner and I stayed in Hone Heke lodge from mid December to the end of March, so around 3-4 months. We were welcomed by the lovely Daniel and Clare when we first arrived, they were looking after the Hostel while the owners were away on holiday. They showed us around and made us feel very very welcome. They helped us find jobs in hospitality - which we weren't expecting at all, but I think we just arrived at exactly the right time! They should definitely run a Hostel of there own at some point!
When the owners David and Vicki came back, they were exceptionally welcoming and lovely too. They really made us feel as though their home was ours too! There is not much more to say about them apart from the fact they're hospitality is outstanding and we would definitely return if we ever find ourselves up in Northland again.
We stayed in a double room with an en suite bathroom which was perfect for the two of us. Our room was cleaned/sheets changed once a week which was totally unexpected but was greatly appreciated.
The other hostel workers do a fabulous job of cleaning the common rooms and are always cheery while working! We picked up a few odd shifts in the hostel every now and again which was great for experience and we also enjoyed doing it.
The atmosphere around the place is perfect and everyone that came and went were pleasant and kind.
We would highly recommend Hone Heke to any other backpacker we crossed on our paths.
Kerikeri is also a wonderful place to explore. You have many walks/waterfalls around the area and there are many wonderful cafes to enjoy.

β β β β β When I came to the Kerikeri I knew from other travellers that Hone Heke is something special, and guess what, it is! I travelled all around New Zealand and this was the place where I met friends for life. The atmosphere, people, clean place (all the time!), music, laughing, beautiful town with so many secret waterfalls ... Just amazing. Victoria and David, all the cats (new member Rocky!), kids ... they are all so kind and always helping out (jobs, travel tips, local places ...). This place really has a big place in my heart. Thank you and I cant wait to be back!

β β β β β Perfect hostel to either settle down while working or just passing through while travelling in a spacious room or in your car in the big carpark. Clean, well maintened and welcoming, Victoria and David are lovely and make you feel home. I spent more than 3 months there when working and enjoying the beautiful area during my days off.

β β β β β Love this place! Spent 1 week here and wish it couldβve been longer. Such a great vibe about this hostel. Dave & Victoria are super nice and really invest themselves in looking after their guests. Comfortable beds, strong showers, and fantastic facilities and grounds. Convenient location just a short walk from the center of town. There are even 2 cute kitties on site! I would definitely return.

β β β β β Was sad to leave this beautiful place! The owners are lovely people that always look out for the guests staying here. First day we arrived, Dave got us a good job that we ended up staying with for five months. The hostel is cleaned every day, our room got cleaned once a week for us and we always had our designated parking spot available.
New World and the town center are just a short walk away, there is a TV room thatβs great to lounge in and we regularly did hostel dinner nights where everybody got together and had a great time.
I loved my stay at Hone Heke, I have met some wonderful people here and will miss the hostel dearly. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to come up North for travel and work.
