Sequoia Lodge Backpackers

There wasn’t any parking on site, luckily there was street parking 5 minute walk away. But it shouldn’t have been advertised as parking on site. The WiFi password we were given on arrival was different to the one in reception. The bathroom was not clean (we were the first to arrive in the dorm).

Süßes kleines Hostel. Man kann seinen Rucksack allerdings nicht absperren. Es gibt ausschließlich ein kleines Schließfach für beispielsweise eine kleine Handtasche. Aber super Kochmöglichkeiten und es ist unfassbar gemütlich.

It’s okey for a few nights

A great affordable place to stay after arriving late from the ferry. We had the double room with en-suite. The room was big and had everything we might need. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow.

We were double booked on last day and placed into an 'overflow' room. This room already had a homeless man in who was booted out by the manager. This individual left the room disgusting and the manager did not initially clean it. There were drugs left in the bathroom, the toilet was blocked with urine on the seat. A vape and can if V was left in the room and one of the mattresses was recently urinated on. There was also one bed short so l slept on the floor. Overall the room was terrible

Très chouette auberge. Propre et accueillante.

We were only there from around 1am to 7:30, so I cant comment particularly on staff or the kitchen, but the bed was lovely and clean, comfy and the bathrooms were perfectly good too. We did struggle with late check in - the keys were put somewhere that looked like a different house, and then we struggled to find our room, but once we did it was a lovely place to stay. Would come back!

Laid back and very welcoming kiwi vibe

They let unsafe men who are clearly very intoxicated to come into dorm rooms after midnight. Contacted the owner afterwards and he apologised but that doesn't make it right and of course no refund. Besides that, dorm rooms have no locks and dead flies in rooms.

it was borderline okay. stayed during the winter season for two nights.it was extremely cold in my room. Also someones entered my room accidentally whilst i was almost about to fall asleep

Unique place great location in Picton. And older establishment, super friendly staff. Large kitchen. Clean, a bit dated. All amenities were accurate and would stay again. 10-15 minutes walk to the downtown area

Super fun/engaging hostel stay! The new owner Rob was a ton of fun and took us / a few others eel hunting really was an adventure to remember. Played games and made friends planning to go back when we are in picton again! Lovely area everyone in town is so nice :))

Very friendly staff, nice peaceful location. Only problem was noisy people staying next to us but no fault of the management.

Really good hostel

Stayed in a private room. Was clean enough but had a weird smell. Laundry room was very cluttered. Good location if taking the ferry the next morning which we did. Not sure if it was worth the price as we have stayed in better.

Nice little hostel for a night or 2 Great big kitchen with coffee and tea freely accessible Rooms are alright nothing to write home about Owners are really nice Location is great although past 9 pm there no hope for nothing to be open in picton

a nice hostel. room was clean , and so was the kitchen, shower and restroom. comfy bed. it's not in the middle of town, but not far -10 minutes walk. we liked the kitchen/sitting atea, not too busy and everyone kept it clean. a bit of noise came into the room at night from people talking/singing , but eventually stopped during quiet hours.

Nice place, very friendly owner

Interesting place and guests…as soon as we arrived the cops showed up, the sheets were stained, the ceiling had dead flies stuck to it, room smelt and no air conditioning. At least the room had a lock and the shower was hot.

Proper hostel! Nothing fancy but comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and friendly feel!
