Tuatara Lodge

Tout ce qu'on attend d'un backpacker. Bien placé. Bon rapport qualité prix, immeuble très agréable et chambre très bien.

Very basic hostel, check yourself in, kitchen was manageable, kind of a more quiet hostel. Movie room was joined to kitchen so people sometimes played their movie really loud for all to hear. Awesome location being right at the bus stop and close to food, grocery stores, and shops.

Great service

Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Great kitchen and hang out zones. Their cafe is the best in town, in food and ambience.

Inner city backpackers - so expect some street noise (crossing beeps all night). Set over multiple floors but there is a lift. The security is good. Reception isn't there a lot of the time, but the bar/brewery/cafe covers. Staff were great. The cafe/bar has ~28 beers on tap, about 14 of their own brews. Brewery is at the back The bunks in the shared dorm aren't solid, so when someone rolls over you move - doesn't matter if you are on top or bottom. Intercity stop right outside!

Très bien.

While the value was great (can’t beat a single room for $51), the property in general gave off very unsettling vibes. The layout is really bizarre and there’s really no sound insulation at all. It doesn’t offer much as far as gathering and socialization. The staff were nice enough, but didn’t know much about the street parking after hours which was frustrating as I was only staying one night and didn’t need to pay for the garage.

Nice hostel. Quite loud at night if your room is on the main street. Bathrooms were ok. Room was clean

Das Hostel liegt sehr zentral und war sauber. Das Personal war sehr nett.

Very spacious and clean hostel. Uncomplicated check In. Very bright and big kitchen. Only thing which could be better are the bunkbeds. Not very stable and you could feel the wires through the mattress

Great location and reasonably comfortable.

Nice place, well maintained, private room clean, comfortable. Laundry room good. The adjoining restaurant/bar is very good, a real asset. Victoria Park nearby is worth visiting - check it out the tuatara island near the park cafe.

Scheinbar das einzige Hostel in der Stadt, sehr unpersönlich, richtig unangenehm schon fast, Küche war OK, Duschen eher weniger. Für eine Nacht zu dem Preis ok, aber wenn ihr nicht müsst, dann bleibt hier nicht

The kitchen needs a refresher! No hook in the shower… where to put my stuff when everything is wet?

Prima locatie. Ik moest inchecken bij de bar ernaast. Geen receptionist gesproken. Voelde niet heel persoonlijk. Goed voor 1 nacht.

The staff were extremely rude, bathrooms were not clean and it felt unsafe and strange.

I enjoyed staying at this property! There wasn’t much of an atmosphere or staff presence, but maybe that is due to it being the off season. I felt safe as a solo female and the showers were super hot and clean. There was a big stain on the wall in the room that wasn’t wiped down, but besides that the room was clean and the bed was comfy! I would stay again!

Clean spacious ease of check in. Great location

Convenient to central Invercargill. Restaurants nearby, Parking is a problem from 8.00am to 5.00pm on weekdays. We had a bit of a problem checking in on a Sunday, keys were at the restaurant next door. We were given keycards to an 8 bed dorm. When I checked my paperwork we were supposed to have a double with ensuite plus 3 beds in a dorm. Went back to the restaurant and eventually got the keys to our private room, It was excellent but the boys said the beds in the dorm were very squeaky.

The staff behind the reception (which was never actually open) were not helpful at all when we asked for help regarding a trip to Bluff and refused to help because he was too busy and his phone was behind the bar next door
