Dusky Lodge
67 Beach road, 7300 Kaikoura, New Zealand – Great location - show map
We were greeted with the warmest welcome by staff. I could not believe how clean the place was. From the room, to the shared kitchen, to the pool... this would by far be one of the best places I have stayed. I honestly could not fault the place. I was worried staying at a backpacking type accommodation with children but Dusky Lodge was very child friendly and quiet... I would definitely recommend this place to families and I would definitely stay here again!

people the owners cleaners they are all good people. I’ve stayed 5 weekends this summer an love this place.

Very good location Friendly staffs and good facilities

Great experience staying here, was going to be a late check in so the staff really went above and beyond for us, to make sure we had everything we needed. Very impressed with the communication with the staff and the professional manner in which they dealt with everything. We will definitely be returning to stay here. Love it and thank you for being amazing!

Great location with a view of the mountains and facilities including a spa pool. Staff were excellent especially Rom on front desk!!

Cleanliness, and a friendly staff Russell and the cleaning Chinese lady staff who guide me to explore the town, was actually a bonus and will recommend to avail their guidance.

The BBQ area was great, amazing views of the mountains while we cooked & ate dinner. We loved spa & pool, we wish we stayed longer so we could have enjoyed the Mexican cafe!

A good backpackers. We stayed in private en-suite rooms and were very happy with them for the price. Two kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs. Ample parking. Easy walk to town.

Such a beautiful place. Even if you've travelled a bit, you should experience this place at least once. Just a beautiful place

I'm a solo traveller, and had a private room booked. I had a solid 10 hours sleep the first night - the beds are so comfortable! The staff were all super lovely - friendly, helpful, and provided a second blanket on request. I'm normally weary about shared bathrooms, but this was great. None of that trying to rush through it to get it over - super clean, no queues (I only ever encountered three other girls in the bathroom over two days), hot water fast. I had two great long showers. There's a small heater in the room, and a TV. The price is so reasonable, I was really impressed with everything. I didn't really use the kitchen all too much, but it looked well stocked and clean.
