Failure to adhere to the following regulations will result in nonrefundable charges and eviction. Please be aware that our rules are strictly enforced. Please refrain from booking if: You are planning a celebration involving a significant consumption of alcohol, such as birthdays, rugby events, bachelor & hens parties. While alcohol is permitted, it must comply with a 10 pm curfew. You are anticipating a lively party atmosphere during your stay. You provide inaccurate information about the number of individuals checking in. You plan to host a disruptive, all-night party. Your behavior is obnoxious and loud, causing disturbances for other guests. You make it challenging for other guests to enjoy their stay by being rowdy. You are unable to present a valid ID or credit card details upon request. Loud music is not permitted. We do not tolerate disruptive behavior, as our guests choose Kakapo Lodge for a peaceful and relaxing experience. Failure to comply with these rules will result in immediate eviction, and you will be prohibited from rebooking in the future. Please book if: None of the aforementioned intentions apply to you.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.

Questions about Kakapo Lodge

What time is check-in and check-out at Kakapo Lodge?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Kakapo Lodge allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Kakapo Lodge?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Kakapo Lodge have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Kakapo Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Kakapo Lodge?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
