  • Do you have parking?
    Yes! We are very lucky to have ample parking behind and in front of our building.
  • Where can we eat crayfish?
    There are lots of options for eating this in Kaikoura from the restaurants in town to the famous seafood BBQ by the beach. If you are feeling more adventurous you can go fishing or diving and catch your own.
  • What can you do on a rainy day in Kaikoura?
    Yes! It can rain even in this bit of paradise we call home. We say don’t let it stop you. The views here can be more dramatic with bad weather. The wildlife here are not discouraged with bad weather and you can still see the seals and other wildlife. If you really want to stay dry you can visit the new Kaikoura Museum.
  • Is there a supermarket?
    Yes!! There is a big New World located a one Minute drive or a 10 Minute walk from the Hostel.
  • What free Activities are there?
    Kaikoura is beautiful so even a walk on the beach is worthwhile. There are a few spectacular hikes around. The most popular is the Kaikoura Peninsula walkway. This is a 3.5 hour loop walk from the Hostel. It takes you all along the beachfront, to visit the seals at the seal colony, past the seafood bbq and up along the stunning peninsula then back to the hostel. Another popular activity is going up to the lookout at sunrise or sunset. The views are hard to beat.
  • Where is Ohau with the Baby seals in the waterfall?
    Ohau is a very special place where baby seals can be found playing in a waterfall. Unfortunately this area is currently inaccessible due to the earthquake. Hopefully access will be restored to this natural wonder shortly. Don’t worry we have confirmation the seals are still there and having fun.
  • Can I Check In after 6pm?
    Yes you can! If you’re arriving after 6PM, we will need to email you our late arrival instructions. You will get a code for the front door and your key will be on the reception desk with your name on it, along with your room number and our WIFI password.
