Budget Options:

Queenstown

Known as the “Adventure Capital of New Zealand'', Queenstown attracts thrill-seekers, grandparents, families, and everyone in between. 

This resort town is usually crawling with tourists, and while COVID-19 has changed the landscape of this town, there are still many great and affordable backpacking options available for those who want to make the most of less crowds and capture the beauty of this paradise.

Adventure Hostel:

This award-winning hostel has everything you need at a very reasonable price, located in the centre of town, but away from the pumping bars and party venues (so you can actually get some sleep!)

With a laundry service, a range of private and dorm rooms, a playstation, free hairdryers, towels, go pros, and hair straighteners, a kitchen with everything you’ll ever need, tour bookings, and a balcony where you can sit and chat with other backpackers and take in the beauty of this magical place, this is one hostel that you will not want to leave.

Check out their sister hostel up the road, Adventure Q2, for just as good a stay in a slightly smaller facility.

Absoloot Hostel:

This family-owned and operated edgy hostel is one of the best located hostels in Queenstown, right on the lakefront and at the forefront of all the attractions this beautiful town has to offer.

With multi-bed rooms, privates, and family rooms, this is a budget accommodation that is great value for money, whether you’re down for the ski season, attending a festival, or there for a weekend getaway in the Adventure Capital of New Zealand.

This luxury rental in Queenstown has an eye-watering price tag of $1500 a night, but this architecturally award-winning home has the features and facilities of a luxury lodge. It’s even been on the cover of several exclusive lifestyle magazines!
