Dolphin Lodge in Kaikoura, Canterbury, New Zealand | Hostel or Backpacker

Welcome to Dolphin Lodge Backpackers, Kaikoura, New Zealand.  Dolphin Lodge has been accommodating guests from both within New Zealand and overseas for over 10 years.
Our longevity is due to the fact we cater for those looking for a smaller, cosy, homely accommodation. Many of our guest have told us that we are like a home away from home and that’s exactly how we want our guests to feel.
We have created an atmosphere at Dolphin Lodge where weary travellers can relax quietly and comfortably either in their rooms or if they wish to mingle with other guests we have the TV lounge and the large deck great for sun sets or for the early rises to see amazing sunrises.
We are just off the main road heading into Kaikoura.  The Dolphin Lodge Backpackers is situated on the hill so you get amazing views of the coastline and the mountain ranges.
Dolphin Lodge also has available four (4) double rooms one of which has an en-suite.  These are perfect for those wanting a little more privacy. All double rooms are fully made up.
We have a number of facilities available here at Dolphin Lodge that are available free of charge to all guests.
