I also really liked the outdoor eating areas and the communal kitchen and lounge areas were lovely to chill with new friends. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had a lot of local information. It was great to have a kitchen, which had everything you need, to make your own food. Very cheap accommodation, really good value for money - I would highly recommend this hotel/hostel. ##### Naomi Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Asrul aziz Nov 16, 2025 Kind staff and good room .

The 24 hour kitchen was large and useful, there were plenty of common areas, the hot tub was clean, and the shower stalls were big! I would definitely Dusky Lodge to a friend! ##### Angelica ### 6/10 Okay #### Myra Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room was clean and the staff were friendly. However there was 0-none tv reception and you could hear people moving chairs, heavy stomping above you at random hours. The stairs leading from the kitchen/dining area were a bit suspect too. ##### Myra Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bich-Ha Henriette Feb 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic place to stay for all The reception was warm and welcome. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a small desk and a queen bed. It is close to the bathroom so it was very convenient. The 24hr kitchen was clean and amazing with a view and door leading to the terrace with seats etc. check out is easy and straightforward. We did not have a car this time but it would be quite convenient to go park in the back. The walk to town is around 10 minutes but we had to cross the “highway”/main road which makes it a little inconvenient. There is a day’ n night market steps away and a great fish and chips and seafood restaurants also steps away. ##### Bich-Ha Henriette Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We arrived 10mins after checkin and could not get in contact with the “after hours manager” we sat around waiting for an hour calling the provided numbers, and found him lighting the fireplace. Kitchen was nice hot tub was great. They have large TV and lounge area on both levels. Hopefully next time there will be better communication ##### Ken Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dorothy Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Needed a bed for short stay in Kaikoura en route to Picton ferry. Dusty Lodge was available, pet friendly and the lower end of budget. Arrived after reception shut but they had left key and instructions to room. It was very small especially considering we paid $20 extra for a dog but was equipped with a tv, fan, stools, desk and plenty of hooks which I like for hanging bags, leashes, coats etc. Could see a pool, spa and sauna plus 2 kitchens which we didn't have time to use. Not used to sharing a bathroom with strangers so that was a big minus - reason why I wouldn't likely book again. Nice walking distance to dairy open til 11pm and next morning to bakery for coffee and scone. ##### Dorothy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberlea Dec 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spacious room with ensuite, painful because it was upstairs which I hadn’t realised, carrying all our bags up was tricky. Simple things like enough tea towels in the kitchen and cloths for the bench’s would’ve made a difference. Pool and spa were good but very busy. Door to bathroom kept opening by itself (sliding). Staff didn’t give wifi password or explain there were problems until prompted. ##### Kimberlea Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Jan 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a huge place for a backpackers, we definitely enjoyed staying there. ##### Alexander ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raj Mar 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent space… Staff is awsome 😍😍😍 ##### Raj Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika Nov 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel! ##### Erika ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Caribe - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Occidental-Caribe-All-Inclusive.h897662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Manhattan](https://www.expedia.ca/Manhattan-New-York-Hotels.0-n129440-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Guadeloupe](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Guadeloupe.d69.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [Jet Luxury at the Vdara Condo Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Jet-Luxury-At-The-Vdara-Condo-Hotel.h7859638.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Vdara Hotel & Spa at ARIA Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Vdara-Hotel-Spa-At-ARIA-Las-Vegas.h2565824.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cambridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambridge-Hotels.d10479.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Blake Hotel New Orleans, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-Blake-Hotel-New-Orleans.h84611.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Callao (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/lim/halifax-to-lima) > > [Cape Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Air-Flights.c9K.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Township of Woolwich (YKF) to Elliot Lake (YEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yel/kitchener-to-elliot-lake) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Arnavutköy (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ist/edmonton-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Kahului (OGG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/ogg/ottawa-to-kahului) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Cochrane](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/56428/flights-from-cochrane) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yqg/hamilton-to-windsor) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Boryspil (KBP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/kbp/vancouver-to-kyiv) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Packages > [Maine Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Maine.d221.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/179995/Cancun)
