Pets

We are a Pet friendly and safe environment however we ask that you contact us with details of your pets. We expect you to ensure there is no damage to the property or chattels in the lodge due to your pets being allowed to stay. We do not charge an extra fee for pets at this stage but ask that you leave the property (both inside and out) clean and free of any Pet hair. Please do not allow pets on our furniture. We also ask that you remove any pet poop from the lawns when you are ready to leave.

Guests are welcome to make use of the Lodge kitchen for the preparation of all meals. Refrigerators are not provided in our guest rooms but our large kitchen fridge and pantry are available for food and beverage storage during your stay.

Manakau Lodge Kaikoura accommodation is a non-smoking property. Guests wishing to smoke may do so outside, but we request that windows and doors of guest rooms be closed when doing so.
  

Arrival by train or bus

Please note that apart from a taxi service there is no public transport in the area around Kaikoura, and we recommend that guests arriving by train or bus rent a car for the duration of their stay with us. By prior arrangement we endeavour to offer a complimentary pick-up and drop-off service for arriving guests, but this cannot be guaranteed during our main operating season.
