We arrived 10mins after checkin and could not get in contact with the “after hours manager” we sat around waiting for an hour calling the provided numbers, and found him lighting the fireplace. Kitchen was nice hot tub was great. They have large TV and lounge area on both levels. Hopefully next time there will be better communication

For such a cheap price, this was an amazing place to stay at! The 24 hour kitchen was large and useful, there were plenty of common areas, the hot tub was clean, and the shower stalls were big! I would definitely Dusky Lodge to a friend!

My stuff was perfect, i wish I stay longer. Cheap price and really nice stay. Bbq, pool, quiet, nice staff. At the beginning when I arrived with the bus, i thought omg... this is to far from in town.. but not at all. easy walking to restaurants and beach and grocery. Big mentionne to Greta and Sean who really make a difference, they where great, really helful, always really happy to assist with all the question or needed. It male a big difference on your stay when poeple are happy to help you. You can see that the team who work at Dusgy are happy. (i stay to other hostel that unfortunately.. staff make you feel that you disturbed them when you ask a questions, or even they dont help at all..) what is NOT THE CASE WITH THIS PLACE. They are nice and reallly really FRIEMDLY AND HELPFULL. Thank you ! The pool and the bbq is great, i wish that we can use the big kitchen but was almost always reserve for group. But notthing else to say about this hostel is great. Stay longer there guys and emjoy your time.

This is a ‘well-used’ hostel. I probably would not stay here but this is where the group I was travelling with stays. Too basic for me, it might be okay for others.

The room was clean and the staff were friendly. However there was 0-none tv reception and you could hear people moving chairs, heavy stomping above you at random hours. The stairs leading from the kitchen/dining area were a bit suspect too.

Kaikoura is very popular and this was the only room at a sensible price. En suite family room with use of communal kitchen. Nice and quiet with view of mountains for breakfast

Affordable accomodation not too far from the town centre. Beds are obviously old and need an upgrade as they are dipping, but not unexpected for budget accomodation

Spacious room with ensuite, painful because it was upstairs which I hadn’t realised, carrying all our bags up was tricky. Simple things like enough tea towels in the kitchen and cloths for the bench’s would’ve made a difference. Pool and spa were good but very busy. Door to bathroom kept opening by itself (sliding). Staff didn’t give wifi password or explain there were problems until prompted.

Bathroom didnt look like it had been cleaned, shower still had watermarks like it hadnt been cleaned. If you want guests to take sheets off beds on departure, you need to make sure whats under them is at least clean, not clumps of hair and stains all over protector. If its that stained you need to replace as not a good look

The water was hot in the shower - very much appreciated. We found getting an e-mail at 5.00pm on the day of arrival with details wasn't really reassuring as to whether or not we still had a room for the night! Also the instructions on the sheet could afford to be more specific so that guests can be as helpful as possible - e.g. we were asked to strip the bed and put the sheets in the foyer - no mention of the towels. Only after we'd returned to key to the box did we discover we should have also brought the towels down. As well the cleanliness needed to be improved. The shower was very dirty around the edges of the base. It would be good to see fans in the showers - or some kind of shower hood to keep the steam in the area.
