“A well kept secret for those on a budget”

This place is awesome, after a heart stopping rev up the steep drive, the scenery from on top of the hill where the lodge is situated is awesome. Run as a hostel, there is almost a bathroom for each room, a very cosy lounge with log fire, and the coastal walk which is well marked is one of teh best I ahve been on. The owner Billy is a really genuine friendly person who really makes his guests feel welcome. Port Chalmers is the quieter alternative to the busier Otago Peninsula, will be back if we ever visit this region again
