Accommodation New Zealand will be your biggest expense. So the New Zealand hostel option is well worth considering for the following reasons,

• Availability

Availability is very good for New Zealand budget accommodation. You generally only need a couple of days notice to book in. See below for information on YHA availability.

• Number

The number of hostels in New Zealand is legendary and you will never be short of available accommodation in New Zealand with around 400 to choose from.

• Type

The type of budget accommodation in New Zealand varies enormously. Experience the bustle of a centrally located city hostel to the quiet of a country one. Budget travel in New Zealand has a lot to offer.

• Options and offers

Shared rooms or dormitories with breakfast. Pick-ups from meeting points to laundry services, affordable equipment rental, equipped kitchens, internet access and more, the New Zealand hostel has much to offer.

• Companionship

A New Zealand hostel is certainly the place to meet likeminded travellers and share experiences: Even find travelling companions for the next leg of your journey. Hostel Manager’s can be a mine of information and advice too.

• Camping

With more campsites than Britain and France put to together (I kid you not!) Budget accommodation in New Zealand is a backpacking New Zealand gem. Many hostels have campsites attached. These tend to be well lit with electricity and water. There’s nothing like taking in the awesome Southern Cross floating above you as you drift off to sleep.

Around a quarter of hostels are classified as YHA hostels or affiliates of the YHA. Most of the YHA hostels that have sprung up in recent times have a strong environmental message and encourage recycling, sustainability of resources and energy conservation.

Many of the YHA hostels are open only to members. So you should consider getting a card in your home country before you leave. For the affiliate hostels you are not required to be a member.

You can check out New Zealand hostels and budget accommodation in New Zealand in what is generally called the ‘Blue Book’. It’s a budget backpackers hostel (BBH) listing written by the hostel owners but the ratings are taken from a survey of guests. Anyone can stay in a BBH so it’s well worth checking out the blue book at a hostel or a visitor centre.

So, to recap

• You need to be a YHA member to stay in their hostels

• You can stay in any YHA affiliate without being a member

• Any listing in the BBH blue book is also open for any traveller or backpacker.

• And for good measure you can buy the BBH Card from any participating hostel or from BBH direct. The card (around 40 dollars) will give you a few bucks a night off your bunk or room cost. Not bad if you consider that over a few weeks.

Your budget accommodation New Zealand options are many. Invest some time in seeing what’s out there and how you would wish to travel. Happy backpacking the New Zealand Way!
