Was Gäste sagen

Aus den Bewertungen geht hervor, dass das Piwaka Lodge and Backpackers für seine herzliche und familiäre Atmosphäre, die außergewöhnlich freundliche Gastgeberin Nicci und das Personal sowie die günstige zentrale Lage in der Nähe der Fähre und der städtischen Einrichtungen gelobt wird. Es bietet Reisenden, die Picton besuchen, einen einfachen und einladenden Zwischenstopp.

Viele schätzen das einfache kontinentale Frühstück, das gute Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sowie die gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche und die Gemeinschaftsbereiche. Einige bemängeln jedoch, dass das Gebäude in die Jahre gekommen ist, einige Zimmer keine Schlüssel haben, Gemeinschaftsbäder anstelle von eigenen Badezimmern vorhanden sind und es gelegentlich zu nächtlicher Ruhestörung durch andere Gäste kommt. Die haustierfreundliche Politik und die gemeinschaftliche Atmosphäre werden von einigen Besuchern hervorgehoben. Erwarten Sie einen preisgünstigen Aufenthalt im Hostelstil, der sich für kurze Zwischenstopps eignet.

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

We traveled with a dog and were grateful to find somewhere for the night. The room was very cheap. The lady manager is very lovely. By the photos on the website i thought the lodge was close to the water but its right in the Picton township. There were a few...interesting characters staying at this lodge, possibly in long term living situations there? There were loud exchanges in the halls at about 2am by men obviously under the influence of something. This didnt bother us as it made our stay interesting but could concern others? One man tried to get into our locked shared bathroom quite loudly but was unable to. I didn't feel unsafe, but we did have a dog with us in our room. If i were a single female i wouldn't have liked this situation. The hostel is tired but fit for purpose.

Was expecting a room with shower turned out there were only 4 communal shower/toilet combined for up to 52 people. Included continental breakfast was good though. There are only 5 onsite carparks although you can park on the roadside.

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

Our stay at Pewika was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, Nicci, the owner, welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home. The accommodation was immaculate, cozy, and full of character. It was evident that a lot of care and attention to detail went into making Pewika a warm and inviting place to stay. One of the highlights was the delightful Christmas dinner that Nicci prepared for us. It was a beautiful gesture that made our holiday extra special. The following morning, the continental breakfast offered a great selection of cereals, spreads, and a delicious fruit salad, which was the perfect way to start the day. What made our stay even more memorable was the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world. The atmosphere at Pewika fostered enriching conversations and a sense of community that made us feel connected and appreciated. Although we only spent one night at Pewika, it left a lasting impression on us. We found ourselves wishing we could stay longer but had to continue our journey. We look forward to returning to Picton, and Pewika will definitely be our go-to place to stay. Nicci's incredible hospitality and the welcoming environment she has created make Pewika a truly special place. Thank you, Nicci, for making our stay so wonderful. We can't wait to visit again.

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

We stayed at Piwaka lodge for one night prior to doing the Queen Charlotte track. The location of the accommodation was great but otherwise we were disappointed with our stay. Once we arrived we found out that our advertised "ensuite" bathroom was shared with another room. Then we found out that there\'s no key to our room, apparently the previous guest took it with them. As a result of that we had to move to another room that had shared facilities. The property needs an overall upgrade as it\'s quite run down and the cleanliness of the property wasn\'t great either.

The owners and staff are truly fantastic! Hospitable, helpful, and caring. Building itself is a bit run down, but I think that's somewhat typical for hostels in the area. everything was in working order. One thing to note is the property is entirely pet friendly, which makes me really happy because I LOVED having their dog around. Unfortunately I'm allergic to cats, so had some trouble but the staff helped keep me away from them and allergies at bay the best they could.

The lady who runs it was very friendly. Our room was fine and had a very comfy bed. Our room didn't have a key which was really annoying. We were kept up at night by two men talking loudly and hammering away, building something on the wall next to us. It was very weird and so annoying. Not your typical backpackers vibe.
