Not going back there.
The place is worn down and half of the place is rented out to the government to be used as a place for social cases. A woman was assaulted while I was staying there and the police came and took report. There were old bottles and dirt under my bed and some of the residents made med feel unsecure. I'm not going back.

Comfortable but loud
Comfortable hostel with a nice lounge but there were some regular residents who treated it like home and were very loud, which was a shame.

Charming lodge
We were on a late sailing from Picton and were accomodated very well with our late arrival. Pity about the lack of off road parking but unrealistic to expect anything else. We had to leave early so were unable to experience much of this lodge but what we did was charming.

Awesome hostel.
Really great hostel on the seafront. Super friendly staff, great kitchen, lots of space to eat and chill out, clean and comfy rooms. This is a hostel deserving of its excellent ratings. Safe for all travellers of all ages. WiFi was solid as well. There's some excellent places nearby to grab food and supplies...I especially enjoyed some top notch fish & chips from the local shop while watching the sun go down. This is also an excellent alternative to staying in Wellington: it's much cheaper, quieter and yet easy to make it into the city on the frequent train service. A day ticket was only $14...I imagine you could easily spend that on petrol and parking. And a lot less hassle....you can enjoy a beer and not have to worry about driving.

excellent location and bedding
really lovely place and quiet. the only thing I would change is a couple of more toilets and showers would help due to the number of people staying at the hostel. when one of the toilets got blocked it made the morning rush a little too much

Another good stay
I was arriving after Reception was closed, I got a call to confirm I was OK and to advise where to find my key. When I got the the Lodge, key was where I had been told along with a letter welcoming me and giving a variety of instructions. All was good from my point of view :-)
