It's an alright hostel, the facilities do the job. The kitchen is good, the bathrooms are kept clean. The main complaint is that there is one plug socket in a dorm for 6 people - really annoying to have to sit in the common area and charge stuff and not being able to charge overnight
All in all an alright placeresponse / report this review -

The dusky lodge is conveniently located a short walk from a grocery store and pharmacy as well asbswveral pubs and laundry. The room was well kept and clean and staff were extremely friendly and quick to offer advice about local attractions.

My favorite backpacker in New Zealand. I was there during the winter then its was quiet (but not to much !) The managers are the best : cool and available everytime ! The hot pool is top ! A lot of space (3 kitchen) and good for people who are looking for a cheap hostel.

Stayed there yesterday (22/10/2017) and I can honestly say it is the worst backpacker hostel I have stayed in so far. Dirty, filthy, dishes sit there for days, moldy fridges. The room smelled stuffy. NOT RECOMMENDED!

I don't know what place everybody else was reviewing, maybe they had their eyes closed?
I wouldn't stay here again if it was free.
This place was FREEZING, absolutely no heating in communal areas. It was filthy, dirty, messy. The woman at front destination had a bad attitude. There was no control over drunk and loud guests. It felt like I was squatting. Worst backpackers yet.response / report this review -

Excellent facilities here with free pool, spa and hot tub. Five minutes from town centre and 10 minute walk to large supermarket. Nice staff and plenty of leisure space. A balcony view of the hills at that.

Loved the feel of the place. Felt like we were in a different country yet only 2.5 hours away from home!! Loved the pool and spa (even on a wet evening) and 4 massive and awesome kitchens to choose from!! Fun staff and very welcoming. Kaikora is a magic place to check out - felt safe despite the recent earthquakes and majority of the township is open for shopping/ eating and playing.

Nothing really to complain here. Not the closest to "town" but roughly a 500m walk. Close to the supermarket so great for people who cook themselves. A little dark, a little smokey and not the newest place, but friendly staff and great service with free wifi and everything. A hostel can most of the time be only as good as the people who stay there.
