Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Rooms were cosy, bed was comfy as was the wood burner in the lounge. Friendly staff who were very welcoming.Guest review byWilliamSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $52.14Review score8.4Very Good · 1,195 reviewsThe hostel had a lovely, laidback vibe. It was in a great location, a short walk into the Centre of Kaikoura. All the staff I met were friendly and welcoming. The garden area was lovely, and it has a beautiful terrace with sea views. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the free ground coffee was a really nice touch. The washing machine was cheap at 2 dollars, and you could use the washing line outside to dry your things.Guest review byJeniSolo traveler
- Review score9.2Wonderful · 282 reviewsGreat location, overlooking the sea. Close enough to walk into Kaikoura. Safe parking. Apartment was very well fitted out, all appliances were modern and it looked as if someone had spent money to ensure it was comfortable and safe. There was washing up liquid, dishwasher powder and washing powder provided, a boon for travellers from overseas.Guest review byLindaYoung couple
