Taking advantage of Stratford’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.
Stratford: Stratford is the gateway to Egmont National Park and Mount Taranaki. The snow-capped mountain dominates the landscape, and waterfalls and streams cascade down the mountain into the Patea River, which winds through the town centre of Stratford. The town is also home to Taranaki’s Pioneer Village – a tourist attraction that recreates the pioneering days of the early 1900s. Stratford is memorable for its clock tower – New Zealand’s only glockenspeil. Stratford has a wide choice of accommodation: a luxury lodge, motor lodge, self-catering motels, bed & breakfast, and a holiday park with motels, budget backpackers lodge accommodation, campervan and campsites. Pet friendly accommodation is available in Stratford, by arrangement.
