Stayed for one night at the called "premium area" on Level 2 which has been recently renovated. The kitchen was awesome, toilets very clean.

Waiheke High School – September 2020

The Group accommodation at Rock Solid Backpackers is a well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out space. Our team and staff were able to easily co-ordinate team talks, meals and team activities in the communal space and the rooms were modern and clean. The Rock Solid Backpacker staff were consistently active, available and friendly Otago Water Polo looks forward to any opportunity to stay with Rock Solid Backpackers again!

Thanks very much for our stay. The group accommodation was incredibly well set up. Great kitchen facilities, with everything you could possibly need to cook for a large group. The beds were comfortable and our teams had great nights of sleep. The staff were friendly and accommodated our needs. We could not have been happier with our stay and we will be back.

Dear Dale and Staff members! A Huge Thank You for all your assistance during our stay at Rock Solid Backpackers! I can honestly say the accommodation for boys and staff was truly on point and we would most definitely recommend and rebook to stay with you again in future!

Thank you so much for the organisation and the hosting of our team this week. We appreciate the help and service provided to us. We had a great week of football, stumbling at the end to finish 2nd overall. Thank you again – we will certainly be recommending Rock Solid to other travelling groups.

We had a great time in Rotorua at your place. Everything is close by and handy to go to. All the staff in the backpackers are all so welcome and kind and make our area so clean and helpful. I am 100% happy with it. OKC New Zealand Ltd
