Most backpacker accommodation throughout the country offers a mixture of shared rooms (dormitories), as well as single, twin or double rooms for a higher (but still relatively cheap) cost.

Long-term rates are usually offered for those planning to stay awhile.

Dargaville: Dalmatian immigrants established the town of Dargaville in the 1870s. Initially, its prosperity was based on kauri timber and gum. Today, the local community is mostly involved with dairy farming and cropping and the area is known for its kumara (sweet potato) production. The Dargaville Museum has an interesting collection of Maori artefacts, shipwreck treasures and gum-digging exhibits. The local paper factory makes handmade paper from Manchurian wild rice. There is a wide range of accommodation in Dargaville; a luxury lodge with restaurant and bar, self-catering motels and cottages, holiday parks with budget accommodation in backpacker hostels. Seasonal rates and discounts may apply. Pet friendly accommodation is available in Dargaville by arrangement.
