Located in Otira, 12 km from Devils Punchbowl Falls, Rata Lodge Accommodation provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

Well this was a surprise. Don’t be put off by the exterior as it is a work in progress. The inside is comfortable and clean. Not 5 star but remember the location. Great stop for exploring Arthurs Pass and all the walks in the area. Vicki and Gerard were fantastic hosts during our stay. Very knowledgeable on the area with some good advice. Highly recommend Rata for a stay in this location.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening.

    Nice hostel, good kitchen, nice lounge and beds in shared room are good. It's nice that they provide coffee and tea. It's a good location to explore the things to see and do in Arthur's pass and right next to the store.

    Beautiful location! The facility was clean and tidy. Bunks were average as bunk beds are... but were comfy for the purpose of a backpackers. Not a lot of space for personal belongings for the number of beds. Showers great. And the lady (staff) who came in in the morning to do the house keeping... she was just the best! She gets 13/10 for her humour!

    A nice budget stay in Arthurs Pass. The hostel had all the amenities we needed with a communal kitchen, toilets and bath. The double room had a doubled, windows and a heater, which worked at headed up the room very effectively.
