Waiheke Backpackers Hostel

This hostel is truly a little paradise! I felt very welcomed and well looked after during my stay. Every corner—the rooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the common areas—is spotless and cozy. The outdoor area is simply magical, with a breathtaking view of the ocean. But what makes this place unforgettable are the people. Victoria and Diego are the heart and soul of the hostel, radiating warmth and kindness, and the entire staff is equally amazing—friendly, attentive, and always ready to share a smile or a conversation. I felt completely at home here, like a second home far away from my own.

Thank you to all the helpful amazing staff, so friendly and welcoming. Location is perfect I extended my stay to 8 nights because I enjoyed this place and exploring the island. Very clean, kitchen is perfect for cooking meals. Rooms were clean, bathrooms cleaned everyday. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a lovely stay

The best hostel on the island! Super clean, with an incredible view of the sea from the garden! The staff are so kind, caring, and extremely professional. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the island. A huge thank you to the girls and Diego I truly felt at home here. 🙏🏾

My luckiest find on this island. What a beautiful place! Could have stayed here a long time. Victoria and Bernie were amazingly friendly and hospitable. It felt like I was family here in less than a week. Be sure to visit the nearby Casita Miro winery and restaurant.

Amazing hostel! The staff were incredible especially Diego, he recommended us walks and was very helpful during our stay. The hostel is right next to the beach and a bus stop so it’s easy to get around the island. Just a really nice vibe place!

Very good hostel. Staff were friendly and happy to help and the hostel was clean. It was a bit far from other things so need a car or get a bus to travel around.

Very friendly staff. The room was clean, and it felt very safe. Strongly recommend! The hostel is located a 5 min walk from a beautiful beach.

The staff were AMAZING highlight of the accommodation. They gave good help and advice on what to do on the island. The rooms were comfortable. Kitchen was well maintained and clean as well as the bathrooms. One of the best backpackers hostels I have been to. Thank you so much.

The location of this backpackers on Waitangi Island is spectacular, and while there is not much of a view from the actual hostel, it's only a short walk down to the beautiful Onetangi Beach. When I say a short walk, there are actually like 200 stairs to descend, but it doesn't take very long and the beach is worth the walk. It's climbing back up which is the shit part anyway. The backpackers itself doesn't have that much going for it in terms of the actual rooms and the condition of the place, but it is a backpackers don't forget, and it is cheap; You can't really expect a resort. The Staff are nice, and I met some good people here. As there are not many cheap accommodation options on Waiheke Island, this hostel is a decent and inexpensive place to stay.
