Treat yourself to ‘slice’ of Pavlova Palace Backpackers!
Pavlova Palace (previously Elm Lodge), is one of Dunedin’s most central, homely and affordable accommodation choices. The Palace is located only 650m from central CBD with panoramic views of the City, Otago Peninsula and St Clair Beach. The Pavlova Palace team is passionate about sharing New Zealand food, arts, music, sports and culture which feature strongly throughout our lodge and is deep-rooted in our culture.
We have nine homely bedrooms sleeping approximately 31 guests each consisting of comfy beds and linen, heaters, hot water bottles with spare blankets to ensure a cozy stay. Our lounge has over 100 movies, a PlayStation and flat screen TV for your enjoyment. The large kitchen is well equipped and capable of servicing multiple chefs. Our showers and toilets are cleaned twice daily to ensure cleanliness. Our dining hall has a popular log burner that is in action throughout the winter months.
New Zealanders love to entertain in their backyards and we have built a ‘sweet as’ deck which includes a hot tub, bbq, pizza oven, hammock setup, outdoor pool and table tennis table. This is a great place to unwind outdoors no matter what the weather is doing. But there’s more… we have a public tennis and soccer court in our backyard and organise games weekly! We can maybe even teach you a few simple kiwi sports during your stay!
We run our famous weekly entertainment program consisting of NZ and international movie screenings, sports and games, pot luck and bbq dinners, and live sports screenings on the flat screen TV!
We can also assist in finding employment in Dunedin and maybe even let you join the Pav Palace Team. We provide discounts through our quieter winter months and weekly rates to those sticking around.
We have friendly, helpful staff keen to make your stay comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. They can offer travel advice and book activities or transport for you and keep you up to date with what’s happening in Dunedin.
Our goal is to consistently go over and above your expectations with providing guests a ‘sweet as slice’ of hospitality.
