Our stay in Wild Kea Lodge exceeded expectations. The staff and owner were friendly and generous and ensured our stay in Franz Josef was memorable. We recommend Wild Kea Lodge and the associated businesses The Landing hotel and Running Beans Cafe highly. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

This was a hostel type hotel with private rooms available with on suite. close to the town (5 minutes walk) the room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Air conditioning was available and good.
Bath room was a bit small but the shower was really good and hot water plentiful.
The views from the property were breathtaking especially the snow-capped mountains all around.

We arrived & it was raining. The young lady explained everything & showed us our room & it was on the 3rd floor. So she helped us take our bags upstairs & then gave us complimentary muffins which were warm & delicious after our 5 hour road trip. The room was warm & cosy & very clean & comfortable with a terrific view. Would highly recommend.

Husband and I had a very comfortable stay here! Bathroom is a little small, and there’s not enough space in the room to accommodate larger suitcases but otherwise no complaints

Great accommodation. A cross between backpackers and a hotel
Very helpful and friendly staff.
Good facilities all round.
Free coffee from a bean to cup machine so the real deal.
Also free freshly made popcorn as much as you like were a nice touch.
We really enjoyed our stay

Convenient location, interesting the employees were also seen at the various restaurants we went to. Our door of our room didn’t shut without lifting up on it heartily. Didn’t realize when we booked we would be going down the hall for bathroom and shower-somehow we missed reading that in the reservation

Mixing with other people in communal areas, free coffee machine, Brollies available for wet weather. Discount at partner restaurants was appreciated.
Fans provided to help with the heat.
However as our room was above the communal bathroom we were disturbed as people forgot to switch off the light/extractor fan when they left which caused noise and vibration of the fan in our room.

Staff friendly, room was ok but quite hot as relied on a fan instead of air conditioning. Main issue was that it didn’t feel very clear when we booked that it would be a shared bathroom. As it was we were next door to the toilet and the bathroom which was very high spec but make sure you read carefully when you book if like us you try to avoid a shared bathroom. Generally still a good place to stay though.
