Dusky Lodge

Das Zimmer und die Küche waren sehr sauber. Vor und hinter dem Gebäude sind genügend Parkplätze vorhanden.

Beautiful view from the back patio. Close enough to walk to bus station. Kitchen equipement is definitely not the best

Friendly team and great facilities. We look forward to coming back when the weather is warmer and the cafe and pool are open. Well equipped kitchen facilities providing 180⁰ views of the mountains whilst cooking. Great location being centrally located on the main road a 5 minute walk from the town centre.

Kind staff and good room . Please announcement for use swimming pool for summer only

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!

En bord de route, grande auberge de jeunesse, pratique, relativement propre, piscine fermée, eau verte.

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.

Küche top ausgestattet. Der Pool war super!

We enjoyed the swimming pool and spa.

The reception was warm and welcome. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a small desk and a queen bed. It is close to the bathroom so it was very convenient. The 24hr kitchen was clean and amazing with a view and door leading to the terrace with seats etc. check out is easy and straightforward. We did not have a car this time but it would be quite convenient to go park in the back. The walk to town is around 10 minutes but we had to cross the “highway”/main road which makes it a little inconvenient. There is a day’ n night market steps away and a great fish and chips and seafood restaurants also steps away.

Bathrooms weren’t serviced and cleaned during our stay. Same for the kitchen. Otherwise fine and convenient.

部屋も綺麗で寝やすかった。 ホテルの人はとてもフレンドリーで良い人だった。 近くにスーパーもあるし、レストランも色々あるので、ご飯にも困らない

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.

Not very clean windows dirty and kitchen floor and tables not very clean needs more cleaning cloths the floor in the unit was very sticky for the price i would have expected it to be better

My room was clean and spacious, well ventilated and well appointed. Very pleasant, thank you.

CLEAN

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

Very smelly and unhygenic room.. Staff tried to help ti change tge room with her limited time but besds are dusty, smelly, stained with some or otger thing.. Very disappointed with the stay... Miserable

Room was adequate and near facilities. TV didn't work and one light bulb needed changing. Bed was comfortable and room clean.

Basic but comfortable room. Good facilities in kitchen Nice views from veranda Would stay again

Very comfortable beds, a very nice place to rest.

My room was clean and spacious, well ventilated and well appointed. Very pleasant, thank you.

private rooms accommodates 4 guests, 2 bunk beds, 1 double beds, TV did not work during our stay

Needed a bed for short stay in Kaikoura en route to Picton ferry. Dusty Lodge was available, pet friendly and the lower end of budget. Arrived after reception shut but they had left key and instructions to room. It was very small especially considering we paid $20 extra for a dog but was equipped with a tv, fan, stools, desk and plenty of hooks which I like for hanging bags, leashes, coats etc. Could see a pool, spa and sauna plus 2 kitchens which we didn't have time to use. Not used to sharing a bathroom with strangers so that was a big minus - reason why I wouldn't likely book again. Nice walking distance to dairy open til 11pm and next morning to bakery for coffee and scone.

Unfortunately it was quite noisy, the walls are thin and you can hear most of what happens in the other rooms.

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and good location.

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

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.

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

The only staff we interacted with was professional but friendly & helpful. Rules were strict, followed resulting in a calm & peaceful atmosphere

Bathroom lighting did not work and when it was brought to staff's attention, nothing was done. We had to use mobile phone torches in the bathroom

Well equipped kitchen facilities providing 180⁰ views of the mountains whilst cooking. Great location being centrally located on the main road a 5 minute walk from the town centre.

Sehr unkompliziert. Ruhig, obwohl nah der Hauptstraße. Fenster gut isoliert. Backpackerabsteige. Sehr zivilisiert.

静かで、駅近く、」食料の調達も容易で、良いと思いました。

1km walk from city center. I liked the wall pictures about creatures Kitchen is useful and nice view of mountains.

Convenient location, well laod out property. I was only there overnight so didnt make full use of the facilities but did appreciate solid bunks that didnt sqeak. Well stocked and roomy kitchen
