Taking advantage of Queenstown’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.

Queenstown: The internationally famous resort of Queenstown rests beside Lake Wakatipu at the foot of the Remarkable Ranges. Swathes of forest decorate the area between town and mountaintop. A more scenic location would be difficult to find. Queenstown is treasured for its ability to provide year-round outdoor entertainment – in winter the town is busy with snow-sport enthusiasts, but with two ski fields close at hand there’s plenty of room for everyone. Accommodation in Queenstown includes hotels, luxury resorts, apartments and cottages, as well as more modest self-catering motels, lodges, bed & breakfasts and holiday parks. Backpackers’ lodges and youth hostels with budget accommodation complete the picture.
