Sequoia Lodge is newly renovated, warm, friendly, family-run hostel. We are located in the centre of Picton but just slightly away from the hustle & noise of the port.

We are one of the smaller backpacker hostels in Picton but with the widest range of accommodation including lots of doubles/twins with their own ensuites and entrance ways, a motel style 'unit', dorms and standard doubles. Click HERE for photos of the rooms and our hostel.

Big howdy

" We run two hostels in two beautiful locations - Sequoia Lodge in Picton and Tasman Bay Backpackers in Nelson. We like to think our Hostels might be like your favourite café - a place where you are totally relaxed and comfortable. There is good music playing, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is just right. A place which feels good to be in, a place where you might have a coffee, a glass of wine, a beer and a few laughs. A place which you remember and want to go back to." Georgie & Peter
