Great staff for the late check, but the walls are paper thin! But still one of the best value places to stay in Kaikoura.Great staff for the late check, but the walls are paper thin! But still one of the best value places to stay in Kaikoura....Close

This hostel is a fair way out from any shops/bars/restaurants (about 20 minute walk), though that does mean its closer to the seal colony. The staff were quite slow in sorting things out, and the only lockers provided were outside rooms and charge $1-$4 each time you needed access.

Stunning views on the front porch. Small kitchen area - everyone bottle necks getting in and the refrigerator door is right there to block you too. And our beds were very uncomfortable.Stunning views on the front porch. Small kitchen area - everyone bottle necks getting in and the refrigerator door is right there to block you too.

Really good location although it is slightly away from main area but only a short walk. A great place to stay and a short walk from the seal colony and amazing views from our dorm which were among the best of our trip! would definitely recommend staying there!Really good location although it is slightly away from main area but only a short walk.

A fair walk to shops / bars but beautiful location on the water. If you stay here, have a friend you can chat to as you walk along the seaside otherwise hire a car.A fair walk to shops / bars but beautiful location on the water.
