I stayed here for one night while in Kaikoura. The hostel is well located and is decent value with various meal deals and drink deals. The rooms are quite dated though with the showers average.

We stayed here as part of our trip with the Stray bus tour around New Zealand on 2 differnet occasions. My first thoughts on the hostel were ' o dear" however although its exterior looks ancient and the interior a mis mash of old fashion design the actual hostel itself is really homely and nice and has character.

Badly in need of an upgrade. Cold and all a bit miserable. Only stayed one night but there has to be better places to stay in Kaikoura

We stayed in the Adelphi backpackers and had a great stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly and it was nice and warm inside with the fire going as it was chilly outside.
