Wanderlust NZ, hotel in Tauranga

Newly opened and refurbished in October 2020, Wanderlust NZ is a waterfront hostel located in a historical building in downtown Tauranga.

It was fine for a short stay. The rooms were very compact but had good storage under the bed for luggage. It's very central in the city, and close to the Intercity Bus Stop. It's good to have one shared toilet shower within the room, as well as other shared bathrooms available outside that.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This was a very comfortable and affordable stay in a great location for my purposes. The shower was one of the best I've encountered at a New Zealand hostelry. The kitchenette was well appointed.

    Great location, near lots of restaurants and cGe and 5mins walk from the bus stop to take you to Mt Maunganui which has the best beaches! The balcony is amazing, and so lovely to have breakfast and dinner out there. Rooms are pretty basic but beds are comfy, the bunk beds shake alot but that's pretty standard in hostels. Busy hostel with lots of people.
