"In spite of my difficulty with access, we were well treated."

4.0

Staff were helpful considering my inability t walk and climb steps.

There wasn't a photo of the lodge on the booking site so I wasn't able to see how difficult access would be for me,

The hotel cancelled on the very day we were supposed to stay. According to them, it was Booking's fault but Booking never confirmed. The hotel did reimburse us, but I still find it baffling that they found out about the "double booking" so late considering I had booked months before.

"Lovely place for a night in Kaikoura"

6.0

Great location, nice back packers, seemed clean, and the host was lovely and friendly.

Having to share a bathroom, but that was my fault for not reading the listing properly!

Très bien placé, literie confortable, grande chambre, équipement propre

Manque d’intimité et trop peu de place pour cuisiner ou manger. Bien pour les très jeunes, mais après …
