Nice hostel set in a beautiful little space amongst native trees tucked away reasonably close to the heart of New Plymouth.

Infuriating long time to book in. Majorly dirty, old, smelly establishment all through. I wasnt allowed to park in the tent site I had booked, by being told it was fully booked. IT WASNT. That really annoyed me. I'd never stay there again, it's pretty disgusting

I have stayed at Egmont Eco Lodge some 5-6 times over the past 8 years and have watched it go steadily downhill. For me, it's always been a convenient place to stay before and after climbing the mountain but my most recent booking will be my last. It is disappointing to see that my feedback is consistent with many others. The lodge appears to be used as emergency accommodation, which is something I am not generally opposed to (the government pays the operators double the market rate) but it should not be also run as tourist and visitor accommodation, or at least, the visitors should be told about this at the time of making their booking. I had a two night reservation and had to leave after the first sleepless night. The few hours spent there I had to put up with people fighting, smoking, drinking and verbally abusing each other right outside my room. The room and facilities overall were dirty and the room was filled with cigarette odour. There wasn't anyone at the reception the following morning so I left the keys and departed. I believe the operator is misleading their guest as the accommodation is definitely not worth the $170 that I paid to stay there and most definitely not what it is being advertised as. I would encourage anyone considering staying at Egmont Eco Lodge to look at alternative options available to them, as there are plenty in New Plymouth and the surrounding townships.

Very unsatisfactory. Booked OK, and told credit card would not be charged and we could pay on arrival. Then got text to advise there would be no one to check us in, so to call on arrival, and my credit card has been charged because there will be no one there when we arrive... Not ideal, but fair enough. On arrival we found our room was on the other side of a locked gate, about 50 meters away. A long distance to carry gear off motorbikes. But the main thing that infuriated me was being told they would not supply towels - DUE TO COVID!!!! But there are sheets, pillow cases, duvet on the bed! (Surely a worse potential spreader of Covid if you have such lousy laundry standards). And cutlery in the communal kitchen. Super spreader potential more than any towel. Room very old and musty. Certain the duvet hasn't been laundered in years. Shared toilets, showers etc. very old and unkempt. Felt very grotty. Only "eco" thing about this place seems to be the avoidance of detergents. We stayed for 2 nights only because my card had been charged before we got there, and I was not at all co didn't I would have been refunded if we reduced our stay. For the desperate only.

For the price and as an emergency stop, it was great!
There are signs at the property saying "check-in at 5pm" which doesn't reflect what's on this listing (says you can check in until 9pm). We were lucky that it was a busy night and another group was also checking in late, so no troubles. They will also ask for your ID and address.
