Hanmer Backpackers

This accommodation feels more like a cozy cabin with individual rooms. Yoko was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay. The room was a great size for our small family, with a walk-in wardrobe that made it easy to store our luggage and belongings. The shared kitchen and dining area, located just off the hallway, was well-equipped with all the basics needed for cooking. There are two spacious and easily accessible toilet/shower rooms, which was very convenient. While there’s no TV, we really enjoyed the opportunity to meet and chat with other travelers—it added a warm, communal vibe to the experience. Downside was the pillows, which were quite thin and could use replacing for better comfort.

We were here for 3 Nights and already had a lovely welcome by the check in. Both hosts were always up for a chat and recommended us the best things you can do around hammer Springs. Also the kitchen and bathrooms were always spotless and the hostel is in walking distance to the Main Street. We would definitely visit you guys again ! :)

Very cute log cabin vibe! Our compact room was affordable and perfect for what we needed! The owner was welcoming and overall we enjoyed our stay😊

Excellent hostel. May be a favorite of mine. Independently owned, log cabin feel, warmth from an active fireplace, spacious room. All top notch. Highly recommend.

Such a nice Hostel, was only here for 1 night but it was definitely one of my favourites. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful but a special shout-out has to go to Tristan who went out of his way to find, and post abroad, a fishing rod I had left behind on the outskirts of the town. He was an absolute lifesaver and went above and beyond the typical expectations of a hostel host. You have to go to the hot springs for sunset too, very peaceful.

A cozy lodge in Hanmer offering rooms with comfortable beds and communal facilities such as cooker, fridge, and a large table for all to share.

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Hosts are kind and welcoming. Really well equipped kitchen and a cosy setting. Tristan and Yoko went the extra mile during our stay and we didn’t want to leave!

Felt directly at home in this cosy wooden-cabin vibe. The owner was super friendly, open for advice and talks and the place was very clean. The bed was the best one I slept in for weeks. You get more than you think with the massage chair, hammock and chimney :)
