My Favorite Hostels in New Zealand
Tourism in New Zealand, I have set a goal to stay with a variety of different hostels. I did not remain only on the chains as base or nomads. I wanted to see small farms besides only large chains. I soon found out, however, that most of New Zealand is dominated by chains such as YHA, base or nomads. And all buses affiliate with them, making them the most convenient place to stay. Overall, I found the majority of hostels to be average, but there are five that blew me away and I think everyone should make a point to stay:
Nomads Queenstown
one of the most amazing hotels I have ever been had (and I've stayed in many hostels). The place is brand new, so everything is fresh and clean. They have a ton of computers, most rooms have balconies have, the showers great water pressure, and the cushions are thick. The manager told me they change every few months to keep them fluffy. How about that for service? But what really sets this place apart is the large kitchen and living room. Moreover, unlike most hostels in New Zealand, you can drink, which means each order will remain at night instead of going out socializing. They host activities every night (including a 10 Kneipenbummel $) and a free dinner and quiz night on Sunday. Not a traveler said I wanted to leave this place. If you only stay in a hostel in NZ, stay here. I still miss it.
Rainbow Lodge, Taupo
This is my second favorite hostel by Nomads. They have a huge kitchen, lounge, a barbecue, an outdoor room, friendly staff and free bike rental. In short, they know what budget travelers like in a hostel. I had a great time there and many single travelers met. Many hostels get travelers on buses, but this is not aligned with any of the large backpacker buses, which means that you do a lot more solo travelers here as you elsewhere.
Pipi Patch, Bay of Islands
of Pipi Patch is an old converted motel and a part of the base Hostels chain. To be honest, I do not know how basic hostels. It is not that in some way they are really bad, they just are not large. They are like the McDonald 's hostels. You go there because it is simple, convenient, and you know what you are getting. So that you be on the positive side, away from there the backpacker buses as the Kiwi Experience Drop people with your friends. However, the Pipi Patch was different from the rest of the base hostels I have stayed in. They have a common room, which is large enough to fit a lot of people, but small enough to force them to make contacts, a large kitchen (with oven), an outdoor terrace and all rooms are en suite. There is also a pool. I like hostels with character and this had a lot of it.
Kiwi Paka Waitomo
A clean and well-kept hostel. There is nothing about this place mind blowing, but they have a great outdoor patio with views of the area and a good restaurant. What I really loved was the water pressure in the showers (I think it took a couple of layers of skin off) and the fact that all bedrooms Single beds. No bunks here. And the beds themselves are very comfortable. The Kiwi Paka is a good place to get a good sleep, and as a traveler in hostels, you have some options for this, so it's nice when it happens.
River Valley Lodge, River Valley
This is an attack on the experience Kiwi. You would not otherwise stay here if you were on a romantic holiday. More like a cabin than a hostel, which makes large River Valley is its location. Sitting outside on the terrace you can hear the river go by as you gaze at the surrounding valley upwards. In addition, there is a hot tub, sauna, and Jacuzzi. There are great walks here and there at night is no light there is, it makes for a great place in the stars to see. This is very much a place to go when you burn some extra money, but even if you are on a budget, they immediately have any room for you!
