Hostels are the perfect accommodation option for anyone travelling New Zealand. We always look for a combo of great location, wifi, atmosphere and rating to ensure you’ll be sleeping easy.
SMALL GROUP TOUR TRAVELLERS
If you are travelling on one of our Small Group Tours, accommodation is included at every overnight tour stop and is included in the overall price.
HOP-ON HOP-OFF TRAVELLERS
In the spirit of freedom, accommodation is not included in the price of your Hop-on Hop-off bus pass. We appreciate that many customers prefer the peace of mind and all outgoings budgeted for before setting off on their trip. When a bus pass is purchased, you will be emailed login details to our online Trip Planner; here, you can pre-book and pay for your accommodation. You must pre-book your accommodation by 7 am two days before any overnight stop. Book accommodation via the Online Trip Planner. If you're staying longer than the bus at a destination, this accommodation will need to be booked directly with the Hostel or via a third-party website.
