Hostels in Waikato, New Zealand

I had a great stay at this hostel, and I want to sincerely thank the host for staying with me until midnight during check-in, as I was delayed by heavy traffic. Despite the late hour, they were incredibly welcoming and made sure I was settled. Highly recommended!

stayed here because its essentially the only backpackers in hamilton.. The place really lacks privacy - there's no separation curtains on the beds in the room so feels very open, no separated bathroom- all in the same room, but at least the toilets have gendered signs on the doors.. would prefer more separation since the men's and women's are all next to eachother. Owner and/or cleaners would come into the rooms without knocking. My bed had the AC directly above it and it was kept on all night, quite drafty. Had a decent kitchen and community area, and good location though.

Ik vond deze prachtige plek herinnert me aan een oude ski-huis. Fantastische keuken balkons en uitzicht. Personeel zijn zeer vriendelijk. Twee blokken van het stadscentrum Taupo. Ik was hier zeer gelukkig. Kan in de stad lopen, maar heeft onderdak parkeerplaats.

We had a wonderful stay at the hostel. The staff were very friendly and gave us a thorough introduction to the hostel, including its lovely animal residents, like baby lambs, deer, pig, and horse. A highlight of my stay was the chance to feed the baby lamb, which was a truly memorable experience! The facilities are basic, but everything is in good working order and covers the essentials. The bedding was clean, and they provided a clear wall guide on how to set it up, which was helpful and a nice touch. Overall, it was a cozy, enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend it to others!

Friendly staff, room was really small and you can hear a bit of noise next door. All gold apart from this.
