Best Hostels in New Zealand

Introduction

When you think of New Zealand, you might picture beautiful scenery, the world’s best hiking trails and friendly locals. You wouldn’t be wrong. New Zealand is also home to some of the most unique hostels in the world. These accommodations are set on gorgeous beaches and in mountain ranges; they have amazing views and facilities like climbing towers or hot tubs. So whether it’s your first time traveling abroad or you’re already an experienced backpacker looking for a new adventure, here are some of our favorite hostels in New Zealand:

Urbanz Backpackers

We stayed at Urbanz Backpackers, and it was a great choice. The hostel is located in the heart of Auckland’s downtown area and close to many bars, restaurants and cafes. It has good facilities (including free Wi-Fi), an awesome atmosphere and good value for money. It’s also suitable for solo travellers as well as couples or groups who want to meet other people on their travels.

If you’re travelling with kids then this hostel might not be right for them because there aren’t any activities specifically aimed at children – although they’ll still have fun!

Base Auckland

Base Auckland is located in the heart of the city and offers free breakfast, wifi, and a rooftop deck with 360 degree views of Auckland. There are also ping pong and pool tables for you to use.

Central Backpackers & Fat Camel Hostel

Central Backpackers & Fat Camel Hostel (Wellington, New Zealand)

The location of this hostel is great for travelers looking to get a feel for Wellington. It’s located near many restaurants and shops, as well as being only a short walk from the city center. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even walk along one of the nearby trails that leads through native bushland!

The staff at Central Backpackers are helpful and friendly–they will answer any questions you have about your trip or give recommendations on what activities are worth doing while in town. They also provide maps so guests know exactly how far away everything is from their hostel bed! There’s no curfew here either which makes it easy to go out with friends at night without worrying about getting back home on time; however those who want quiet nights in will likely find themselves disappointed by loud drunk people coming back late at night (or early morning).

There are several common areas where guests gather together: one room has couches where people sit around watching television or playing cards while another room has tables where everyone eats meals together during mealtimes (which occur every day except Sunday). Additionally there are two kitchens available so visitors can prepare their own food if needed – however these aren’t cleaned daily so expect some messiness after awhile!

Nomads Auckland

Nomads Auckland is located in central Auckland, just a short walk from Britomart (the city’s main railway station). The hostel also has an on-site bar and restaurant serving delicious food daily.

Nomads offers private rooms with shared bathrooms as well as dorms for those who want to meet new people or party with fellow travelers after a long day of exploring the city. The hostel has everything you need for your stay including free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities and lockers for storing valuables.

It’s not all about the location though; Nomads also has an amazing ambience with friendly staff who are always willing to help out with any queries you might have during your stay!

Base Queenstown – Hostel

Base Queenstown is located in the heart of Queenstown, just a short walk from the lake and town center. The hostel has an excellent location for exploring the area by foot or bike, which can be rented right next door at Base Rentals.

The hostel has multiple common areas, including a kitchen and lounge area with TV and fireplace. There’s also an outdoor patio with lounge chairs where you can relax during your stay. For those looking to get out into nature but don’t have their own gear, Base offers free use of kayaks on Lake Wakatipu (weather permitting).

There are both private rooms as well as dorms available here; each room comes with its own bathroom facilities so no one will have trouble getting ready in the morning! If you need some extra space while traveling solo or with friends/family members who want their own room then this might not be ideal but otherwise it should work out fine for most travelers looking for affordable accommodation near downtown Queenstown without sacrificing comfort or privacy.
