Hostelling Information

Hostelling in New Zealand

Go diving with dolphins; take a whale watching trip; amble down long, deserted beaches; ski from July to October; visit volcanoes; soak in hot springs; drink some of the New World's best wine. New Zealand is a haven of quiet beauty - and also a paradise for thrill seekers: some of the more inventive local activities include wind–powered go–karting, and zorbing, or rolling down hills in inflatable spheres. The North Island features the lively capital, Wellington; the spectacular harbour city of Auckland; the vineyards around Marlborough and Martinborough; and the extraordinary geothermal sights of Rotorua. The South Island offers glaciers, rainforest and thermal pools in the Mount Cook National Park; tranquil fjords at Milford Sound; penguin colonies on the Otago Peninsula; and some of the country's best skiing (and bungy jumping) around Queenstown. New Zealand's hostels offer a choice of accommodation ranging from city centres to locations tucked well off the beaten track.
