New Zealand Road Trip Itinerary: 2-4 Weeks (Updated 2025)

"I stayed at Juno Hall near the glowworm caves and enjoyed the on-site swimming pool and tennis court, a large kitchen, and an outdoor grill for barbecuing, which made it a convenient base for exploring Waitomo." - Matthew Kepnes

The 7 Best Hostels in New Zealand (2025 Edition)

"Clean and well-kept, this hostel is ideally located near the glow worm caves and even has a pool and tennis court on-site. There’s a large, well-kept kitchen and an outdoor grill for barbecuing, the staff are welcoming and ensure a comfortable stay, and it’s super affordable — just note the mattresses aren’t that thick (beds aren’t super comfy) and there are no reading lights or individual sockets." - Matthew Kepnes

The staff here was so lovely and welcoming and made our stay one to remember. The facilities were clean the beds were comfortable. There were also bonus pigs, lambs and a deer who we got to feed which was a lot of fun. The YHA was also in a great location being only a 5 minute drive away from the glow worm caves

Offers comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the utensils, a fridge, and a freezer. The cozy lounge area features a fireplace, perfect for relaxing, and is stocked with a great selection of board games, books, and movies. You can also make use of the on-site tennis courts with rackets provided. While the pool was closed for the season, it looks like a lovely spot for warmer months. Dave is a great host that knows nearly everything going on in the area. He's a good chat and quiet a character (Ask him about his time in the navy). His dog, George, and lamb, (I think named) Le Pew, are super cute.

This is a rare find. Super cozy, a gorgeous fireplace in the middle of the living room, spacious clean kitchen with all the utensils you can imagine, the rooms are super comfy. You even get a real towel! I felt like I was in a luxurious ski chalet! The best part is the manager Dave with his gorgeous pup George. Super friendly and helpful! Was very sad to leave.

Fantastic place to stay, excellent value. Generously equipped. Family friendly (we stayed in our campervan), but lots of activities for little ones including feeding the lambs. Fantastic kitchen facilities. Great host. Loved the cosy wood fire.

Very cozy common area, kitchen and bathroom are very clean and well equiped and there is lots of charging points for caravans. Also there are lots of cute animals, lambs, pigs, horses and a lovely dog named George :) 100% recommend

We had a motor home but welcomed to use the very well equipped kitchen and the lounge which felt like you were at home - comfy couches, roaring log burner, books games tv. It’s winter so it was only occupied by two other groups. Reception very helpful and friendly. What I would call a wee gem and definitely worth staying

George and Dave are the best hosts! They make the place hum with humour and harmony. The cleanest bathrooms and toilets in the Waikato, beautiful scenery and animals to chat to and feed. Thank you for the memories 🙏🏼

Fantastic place to go with kids. They really enjoyed the pool, tennis court and animals and it was great that there were games available and even a stack of colouring pencils and colouring books, plus movies on in the evening. Very comfortable rooms very reasonably priced. Friendly and helpful front of staff. Would definitely go again
