I had a lovely stay at Sequoia Lodge Backpackers. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. The kitchen facilities were excellent and always kept clean. The bed in my room was really comfy too, ensuring a good night's sleep.

The walls were quite thin, and I could hear some noise from the neighboring rooms. Additionally, the bathroom could have been cleaner with wet hand towels and an unchanged shower mat.

It was one that did the job Could of done with a more comfortable matress

Atmosphere, staff and nice extras for the price.

Great location, close to seafront, cafes, restaurants, and shops. Friendly hosts and enjoyable communal meals. Convenient pick up/drop off from ferry and train. Washing facilities and excellent value for money. Clean and cosy rooms with a powerful heater. Well-equipped kitchen. Close proximity to the Crown Hotel with a fantastic menu. a pleasant stay with homemade soup and chocolate pudding as a bonus.

Felt safe walking at night, no complaints whatsoever.

Good location, and $10 off Beachcomber water taxi 'Great Track and Pack Pass'

friendly staff-luggage storage-pleasant common areas

We loved this hotel! It was so close to everything, including the ferry terminal and town centre. The rooms were clean and the hotel facilities were great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We also appreciated the pick up and drop off transportation service.

Couldn’t fault this hotel.

It was clean, affordable and I enjoyed the spa. it was a good introduction to backpackers.

Friendly & efficient booking staff. Breakfast facilities. I will return when I next visit Picton.

I cannot think of anything !

I recently stayed at Sequoia Lodge Backpackers and had a fantastic experience. The hostel had a warm and welcoming environment, making it easy to meet and connect with other travelers. The free puddings and breakfast were a delightful touch that brought people together. The bed was comfortable and the room had ample space for all my belongings. The cleanliness of the hostel was impeccable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

A little SPA is available. At 8PM, a chocolate pudding with ice cream is served freely. The TV room is great. The kitchen is big.

The poorly soundproof wall, usual problem in backpackers.

Clean, friendly, welcoming, charming, great value for money, always a stop we make before catching the ferry, fire, movie room, hot tub, free wireless, chocolate pudding, great.

I had an awesome stay at this hotel! The location was really handy, just a few minutes from the bus station and in front of a beautiful square. The staff was very friendly, always helpful and with excellent service. And the amenities were perfect, like free wi-fi, shared kitchen, and laundry. I loved the leisure/ tv room and the jacuzzi, while the board games and the hiking were great options for entertainment.

To sum up, I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

It was warm and welcoming, creative and peaceful :)

The staff were friendly and pick up from ferry terminal was a bonus. The atmosphere on an evening is fun and friendly it feels like home, really good kitchen and living space, and everyone chilling out together eating chocolate pudding!

Need to update the computer! The free wifi is awesome is you have your own laptop, not many places in New Zealand offer that... But the one pc is very old and slow and updates when you log on using up your credit. Only downside to the place!
