The 7 Best Hostels in New Zealand (2025 Edition)

"This is everything a budget backpacker would want: a huge kitchen, a big common room, a spacious patio with BBQs, fun and welcoming staff, bike rentals, and a super friendly hostel dog. The place is updated with modern pod-style beds (most rooms, including dorms, have en-suite bathrooms), making it easy to get a great night’s sleep, and the communal areas make it really easy to meet fellow travelers after a long day of adventure." - Matthew Kepnes
