Dolphin Lodge Backpackers Reviews

Great great location. Free car parking, free spa and absolutely amazing view from the deck. Great to experience a small backpackers but with great feel of home.

A lovely, homely atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff. A small hostel so you feel very valued. Free jacuzzi which is lovely. Staff very willing to help book trips etc. Great location for whale/ dolphin/ seal trips. A lovely stay in this hostel.

I loved this place in Kaikoura even though I was there only a night. Located on a hill, its quiet and further away from the main road so you won't hear the noise from traffic. The bed I had in the private room was very comfortable and had a lovely view

Great small hostel with a friendly atmosphere and very nice ocean views.

We would so highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a relaxed weekend break or holiday. There were such friendly staff, great facilities and a cat which always helps

Great having single beds instead of bunks. Spa pool was also lovely to have after a hard days walk. Staff were super nice & friendly-real asset to the hostel. Only one thing I didnt like was the hill you had to climb up to it but worth it for the views! Bike hire was outrageously cheap which is great for budget conscious backpackers. Would definitely stay here again-like a home from home.

Great hostel, loved the sauna.

This place makes me feel like home. Matthew and the other girl (I don't know her name) were very friendly and helpful!

Great place. Really close to town (two minutes down the hill). Nice hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountains. Super friendly staff and nice clean bathrooms. Would return again!
