We have a family room at the lodge which is fairly basic but fantastic ... has everything we need and comfortable to sleep. It is in the perfect spot with the beach across the road and a 1-5 min walk to all restaurants, shops etc. Love the holiday vibe of this place! Definitely want to come back and stay longer.

Great location but horribly designed backpackers. Way over priced for what it is. Kitchen and bathrooms stink. Needs windows in the bathroom. The outdoor area was horrible. Needs grass. Glad we werent there on a hot day. No aircon amd rooms just hot. We had a private room but felt sorry for thw backpackers. The bunkneds must be horrid. Kitchen needs a dishwasher and new ventilation system and a whole set of new appliances. For thw prices they charge they should improve it. Quite embarrassing really if this is what NZ is providing tourists.

Séjour gâché par le manque d'aération

Établissement proche de la plage et de toutes les commodités, notamment pour les taxis boat et les kayaks. Il est situé à proximité des commerces et des restaurants. Cependant il faisait dans notre chambre une chaleur atroce et la seule petite fenêtre ne suffisait pas à avoir assez d'air. Cela a gâché notre séjour. Rien à dire sur la propreté et la qualité de la literie.

The locations is awesome, it is close to the beach and the cruise to Abel Tasman park. The room was clean but the bathroom was terrible. The fan did not work properly so it was always wet, what resulted in a terrible smell. Because we traveled during off-season the reception closed at around 4 pm. This was not ideal, especially because we had wifi codes that only lasted 24 hours and expired that evening. Our stay overall was okay, but we did not feel comfortable enough to shower which could be even worse in the summer time.

Convenient and well located

Convenient for the boat to Abel Tasman but pretty basic en suite accommodation - more 'Flashpackers' than hotel! However Kaiteriteri is a beautiful location.

Poor hotel/hostel wouldn't recommend

Worse kitchen I was in whilst travelling NZ. Not sure if it was the kiwi people stopping at the time but was a horrible smell and extremely dirty. The room was very basic and heater only ran for a short time which wasn't ideal to dry our clothes after it had been raining again.

ビーチからすぐの場所なので、立地条件は最高でした。宿泊費は けして安い方ではないと思いますが、フリーWi-Fiなく完全有料なので その点が残念でした。またシャワーもカギが壊れて使えないシャワーがあったり、キレイな方ではないですが、お湯や水圧に関しては問題ありません。

Basic backpacker hostel

The hostel is very basic but the rooms are functional. The room smelled slightly of damp and the shower in the en suite made the whole bathroom floor wet which was annoying. For the price, it’s an average backpackers hostel - you get what you pay for!
