National Park Backpackers

The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. A comfortable simple place in a great location close to amazing tracks and mountains! We were not as young as most of the guests there and we felt wonderful surrounded by them and lovely staff, who are mainly young people working temporary to fund traveling in New Zealand. No fuss, a simple that offers precisely what one needs and encourages you to spend majority of time outdoors, as one should when in New Zealand. We booked a room with private bathroom.
