Around The World Backpackers

A small, intimate hostel with a laid-back vibe and a convenient location, just a short walk to the city centre. The owner, a fellow traveller, is friendly, helpful, and clearly puts his heart into the place. There’s a lovely little backyard with grass, hammocks, picnic tables, and a few chickens! A great, homey base in the city for anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere and to connect with like-minded travellers.

Very small hostel, but it's enough for guests who just want to take a rest during the sightseeing. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen and can take a hot shower in the bathrooms. Something we can have some eggs for free from the chicken the owner looks after here.

Location is great, eco friendly, food gets recycled amongst the guests. Friendly atmosphere, great if you want to learn French! Nice garden and facilities, friendly cleaner :)

Everyone is was so nice and inviting. The hostel was clean and tidy. Perfect walking distance into the city Center and Woolworths

Don't make any mistakes when you book here - be 100% certain you do your reservation correctly. We accidentally booked the wrong date and the proprietor refused any kind of refund or assistance. No doubt it's a nice place, but I personally work in customer support for my day job and I never charge a customer for a product they don't use. Don't recommend, if you're a human and can make mistakes 😛

After staying there for a while, I can confidently recommend this hostel! Great hostel, close to the center of Christchurch, with a great atmosphere and excellent staff! :)

Hostel with good location from the town center and friendly owner. Pretty quiet with a nice backyard.

Very nice staff and hostel is quiet, clean and nice. Beautiful people.
