    The hosts were unbelievably welcoming and friendly, despite the gloomy weather. They even took me on a joyride to explore the stunning surroundings. The room's heater was outstanding, keeping me cozy throughout my stay. The fully equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze. And oh my, the common room was mind-blowingly cozy with plush sofas, tables, and chairs, accompanied by music if desired. There were countless books and games to entertain myself with. From the AMAZING communal area to the incredible hospitality, this place was an absolute delight!

    The beds and rooms were really comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The indoor garden space was cozy and provided a lovely spot to unwind and relax. Additionally, the fully equipped kitchen was a great convenience, allowing us to prepare our own meals during our stay.

    The wifi was not included in the price, which was a bit of a disappointment, so make sure to factor that into your budget. The bathroom lights were on timers, and while they were quite long, it was still something to be aware of if they were already on.

    Comfortable beds and beautiful socializing area. Helpful information about opening hours of restaurants and shops.

    No free wifi, not even a small data amount. No free tea or coffee available.

    I recently stayed at Wilderness Backpackers for a few nights during my hiking trip. The spacious rooms were clean and cozy, with a small locker for each guest. The kitchen was well-equipped, and I appreciated the indoor garden filled with flowers. There was even a selection of board games available in the wardrobe, perfect for a fun evening indoors. the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, making it the ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    We had a lovely romantic escape at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with comfortable beds and a peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the fact that the common areas were well-maintained, especially the beautiful dining area filled with lush green plants. The cleanliness of the hotel was definitely a plus.

    There were a few aspects that we were not entirely satisfied with. the staff seemed a bit bossy and lacked knowledge about nearby restaurants, providing us with incorrect information.

    The rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious, with plenty of room for luggage storage. The "indoor garden" created a nice atmosphere, and the well-equipped kitchen was a great feature. Another advantage was the common area, which had a cozy dining hall and space to relax, play games, and chat with other backpackers.

    That there was only one socket for charging per room, which was a bit inconvenient. when the hotel was fully booked, there weren't enough toilets and showers available.

    Felt happy, no complaints.

    For the price we paid, our stay at Wilderness Backpackers was definitely worth it. The room was cozy and well-designed, making it a comfortable place to rest after a day of hiking in the beautiful surrounding mountains. The location was perfect, giving us a true wilderness experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay.

    The only thing that could have made the morning meal better was if there had been a wider variety of options available.

    Enjoyed my stay at Wilderness Backpackers. The central location was perfect for exploring the area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. Despite it being a backpacker accommodation, the room was small but cozy, especially when traveling with friends. The central eating area was a nice touch, and the kitchen was well-equipped. I had a pleasant experience.

    Stopped in **Wilderness Backpackers** in Haast during a road trip down the West Coast. The best thing was having an excellent cooked breakfast and great espresso at Fantail Cafe next door in the morning. The lady at the front desk was friendly, and the facilities for backpackers were excellent. The bunk beds were spacious and comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep. The kitchen was well set up and the whole place was super tidy.

    I recently stayed at a lovely hostel in the wilderness. Wilderness Backpackers provided a clean and safe environment, with all the basic amenities you would expect. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the shared facilities, including the spacious kitchen and dining hall, were great for socializing with fellow travelers. After a day of hiking in the mountains, it was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The host was fantastic, always taking care of the guests and ensuring the kitchen was neat and clean. The location was also ideal, with a supermarket, cafe, and restaurant just a short walk away. I even took one of the hostel's bikes and enjoyed a great ride to Jackson Bay.

    Couldn't find any faults at all! 👍

    The host was sociable and took good care of us. We loved the clean and organized kitchen, and the garden lounge with its relaxing atmosphere. The hostel's location was perfect, with a supermarket right next door and other amenities just a short walk away. The free bikes provided by the hostel were a bonus, allowing us to explore the beautiful beach nearby. it was a chilled and enjoyable experience.

    Nothing at all! 👍

    The bunk beds provided ample space and there was plenty of room in the dorm for everyone's luggage. The showers were clean and had good water pressure. The central location made it easy to explore the surrounding area.

    There were some issues with the amenities. The mattresses were a bit worn and uncomfortable.
