Great place to stay”

This is my second time staying here. Good for budget travellers like me. Location is great, next to supermarket, restaurants and banks. Centrally located. The kitchen is available and well equipped. The computer is also conveniently available for use. The room is clean with a locker (remember to bring your own lock) ensures your valuables are really safe. The bathroom is ensuite with everything provided. Even the aircond works splendidly. Would certainly stay.

My umpteenth stay here. The facilities are great. My dorm with an attached bathroom has only 4 beds. The kitchen is well equipped and free coffee/tea is available. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The location is great - next to the river (riverfront view) with food shops all over the place. Supermarket/minimarkets and Mr DIY are nearby. Would certainly stay here again when I'm in Kuching.

We enjoyed our short stay at Woodpecker Lodge before going to National park. It is in a good location as it's just walking distance to the Waterfront. Nearby there is a bus stop for the bus going to Bako National park. The room is clean and service is great. The owners and stuff are very helpful and polite. As cats owners ourselves we liked Fluffy and Ninja hanging around the reception area. Yes, you’re in a cat town. Far from home but feels as at home. We would like to stay here again.

Looking back at my stay here sure brings a lot of memories for me back in the days at Kuching. I was a frequent visitor to this lodge before covid and moving back to Peninsular. The lodge really serve its purpose for travellers like me who need place to just rejuvenate, before making long journey to inner district of Sarawak. I was quite worried when the pandemic hit but to see this lodge still thriving to this day, I’m so grateful. Overall 10/10! Thank

The lodge located not too in the centre of waterfront, so it's far away that it's not crowded from people, and also not too far away, it's a walking distance to the popular places to visit. There are also a few hawkers centres around this lodge, so finding place for breakfast was not a problem
