Taking advantage of Fortrose’s backpacker options is a great way to socialise before moving on and exploring the entire country on a budget. Backpacker accommodation is friendly, communal and reliable. They are places where, usually, young travellers congregate and often make friends with people of different nationalities. It’s the most fun way to discover everything this country has to offer and meet like-minded travellers. New Zealand backpacker accommodation is considered to be of a consistently high quality. 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. The facilities usually consist of a communal kitchen and bathroom, and a coin-operated laundry, although this does vary – many also have internet access, bars and TV lounges. Long-term rates are usually offered for those planning to stay awhile.
Fortrose: Along the Catlins Coast, visitors will find the best of every world – rivers, waterfalls, beaches and wildlife encounters. From the fossilised forest of Curio Bay to the fur seals and penguins of Nugget Point, there is a long list of surprises in store for you. Curio Bay is a geological wonder. The fossilised forest of kauri and other subtropical trees date back to the Jurassic age – 135-190 million years ago. Arrive at low tide for best viewing. Fantastic views from self-catering lodge accommodation at Waikawa, 6km from Curio Bay. Beachfront self-catering accommodation is available in holiday homes with discounts for long stay. The camping ground has sheltered campervan and campsites. Self-catering motels in Tokanui, a self-catering cottage at Fortrose, complete the picture.
