the kaikoura seaside lodge provided for us exactly what we needed – a roof over our head and a toilet/shower! it’s very much a backpackers’ place – there seemed to be a lot of settled in regulars who were very comfortable around the place. there’s a lovely communal kitchen/dining area with a great view, but no spare food on offer to make sure to bring your own dinner/breakfast – especially as there’s not really anywhere super nearby to eat if you don’t have a car like us!!! the toilets/showers were very basic and felt a little icky but i think that’s just the vibe of a shared bathroom. the water temperature & pressure were perfect. good distance walk to the seal colony. for anyone wondering, there is also a kaikoura shuttle van service you can call and take you/pick you up to save the walk!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kaikoura Seaside Lodge. Excellent communication regarding access and keys. Great kitchen facilities. Loved the body wash, handwash and towels in the bathrooms. Would recommend highly and will stay next time we are in Kaikoura. A great asset for Kaikoura.

Loved the extended family vibe of cats Arthur and Neil. xx View was one million dollars! Location was perfect for us to catch up as a family. We loved the communal area.

Sharing bathroom facilities. Not suitable for us. Did not stay there. Shared Kitchen & TV lounge not for us. It was like a back packers place.

Fantastic views from front rooms and good value. Was a fair way out from town but still walkable and close to the fantastic Pier Hotel.
