Bell Lodge Motel And Backpackers Tauranga

Bell Lodge is a unique hostel where you can choose to "stay in Style" in one of our Motel Units or enjoy the clean communal dorms and leisure areas, have a double room with your own shower / toilet, just for the two of you. There are no large noisy bus crowds here, just genuine kiwi hospitality. Bell Lodge is a purpose built backpacker complex where all rooms open onto wooden decks. There is plenty of safe parking off the street to ensure that you and your vehicle remain secure. If you need to earn some money then Bell Lodge is renowned for finding work all year round for those wanting a few extra dollars. The attractive weekly rates are offered so that you can save more during those longer stays when working. The location is great giving you a short stroll to supermarkets, pharmacy, post shop and buses. Where possible, they will even take you to the beaches or do a drop off or pick up from the bus terminal. For those wanting to tent then Bell Lodge has plenty of sheltered sunny tent sites. They can organise all local activities such as dolphin swimming, surf lessons, sky-diving, and many more.

We are happy to have children stay at Bell Lodge in our Motels, but because of the diverse range of people staying in the Backpacker Lodge, we discourage under 5s in those rooms.
