Dolphin Lodge Backpackers Reviews

Their tunes list was excellent. Very easy going and friendly. A mix of all ages. Quiet yet sociable. I'd go back there.

Love the fireplace in the lounge, good for a cold day. Nice view of the sunrising over the sea too. Friendly staff

Great place to stay and good value for money, owners very knowledgable about the area and willing to help you chose the right activities for you.

The room had not been cleaned properly, there were used tissues and a condom wrapper in the bedroom! Also some of the people staying there were very inconsiderate slammming doors and talking loudly during the evening whilst we were trying to sleep! My partner had to shout really loudly asking them to be quiet which did not help him as it effected the quality of his sleep. We informed one of the managers in the morning but felt as those he did not really care.

We found a warm and helpful welcome in this hostel. Our room was adequate and there was a working heater. The location is stunning, and near the town centre as well. The hostel was clean,kitchen facilities adequate. We would stay again.

Nice hostel! Staff our really friendly. Feels like a second home.

This was a great atmosphere! The view off the back porch, the hot tub, the fireplace and even the great music selection just really made this hostel. My only criticism is I did not know there would be a cat, and my allergies went crazy the whole time I stayed there. I absolutely loved my stay though!

Lovely outdoor area

VERRY NICE HOSTEL, IF WE ARE GOING TO VISIT NZ AGAIN WE WILL BOOK YOUR HOSTEL AGAIN. WE VILL ABSOLUTLY RECOMEND THIS HOSTEL.

Private with bathroom was excellent value

Can not fault dolphin lodge! spectacular view and easy walk to the town centre. Stayed in a double with private ensuite, facilities exceeded expectations.

The hostel is well maintain and the location is good, just on the top of The town. But the kitchen is quite small and the ventilation of the cooking Smell are sneaking into our room. Overall it good
