Taking advantage of New Plymouth'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.

New Plymouth: New Plymouth is one of New Zealand's sunniest cities. It was founded where several Maori iwi (tribes) had lived for centuries. Early European whalers operated in the area for some time before the ship William Bryant arrived in 1840, bringing the first of the European settlers. Today, New Plymouth serves a region that is mostly engaged in dairy farming and the production of oil, gas and petrochemicals. The Maui gas field, approximately 25 kilometres offshore, is one of the biggest gas fields in the world. There is a wide choice of accommodation in New Plymouth, including luxury hotels, motor inns, self-catering motels and lodges (some suitable for backpackers and groups), holiday parks with self-catering motels, budget accommodation, campervan and campsites. Pet friendly accommodation is available by arrangement.
