Tiki Lodge Reviews

Thanks for choosing to stay with us. We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels around our fantastic country. I'm not sure why the original building designers/planners didn't allow for more plug sockets in the rooms - maybe something to do with some sort of safety regulations???? When we took over management of the lodge we did try to get more put in but apparently we can't... we may have to look at getting some multi boxes... Our security door situation may seem weird but having a hostel where anyone walking off the street can just enter your communal areas seems even weirder to us - previously anyone could just wander upstairs and help themselves to guests food etc so we adopted the current security set up in the best interest of our guests.

Thanks for the positive comments - would just like to clarify re: check out times and use of facilities after check out. Some hostels have no control over who can access their communal areas due to their layout (i.e ground level - easy to walk in sites) - which may put guest safety and security at risk. Therefore guests can be under the illusion that this is the "normal" way things operate...(when in fact the hostel operates in the only way it can...) Our communal areas and rooms are located upstairs and key access is required at all times. Once checkout is completed the guest no longer has a key to access these areas (including the facilities) - which makes us a "little different" by operating in a way that is "not normally the case". Motels don't allow access to facilities once you check out and we operate in the same manner ( a decision that wasn't made lightly and was made due to prior experiences/incidents and abuses we have incurred as a result). We are not unreasonable and often do allow those waiting for buses into the communal areas to wait as well as let checked out guests briefly use toilets (outside of cleaning hours) however our staff are not "doormen" and shouldn't be expected to unlock doors all day. Also we do offer FREE luggage storage and there are plenty of cafes nearby, the lakefront, library etc where people can sit during the day and the town operates plenty of toilet facilities also.

Hey there...hopefully you informed the office staff re: the bed slats so that we can look into it more - otherwise there isn't much we can do about it.. Security box is available in reception - we don't include lockers in the rooms due to hygiene reasons. Hopefully we will see you back again sometime...
