Well-equipped shared kitchen, easy walk to supermarket, friendly staff, excellent facilities for backpackers, spacious and comfortable bunk beds.

Felt privileged, no complaints at all.

This accommodation has a great communal area and free bikes for guests to use. There is a short trail to a nearby beach. The hostel has clean showers, a fully equipped kitchen, and lots of space to socialize. a chilled and relaxing place.

I recently stayed at Wilderness Backpackers for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The rooms were spotless, with individual lockers and plenty of space for luggage. I loved the indoor garden area, which had a great ambiance with music playing in the background. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and I was impressed with the variety of spices available. Additionally, having a supermarket right next door made it convenient for grabbing any supplies I needed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated that the reception was open when we arrived late in the evening. a comfortable stay with plenty of common room space.

I do recommend this hotel.

During my Christmas stay, I really enjoyed the clean and well-equipped kitchen at the hotel. It had everything I needed to prepare my meals comfortably. The spacious rooms with luggage storage banks were also a plus, providing ample space for all my belongings. the hotel's location was great, with key attractions and amenities nearby, making it convenient to explore the surrounding area.

There were a few aspects that I didn't quite enjoy during my stay. the mattress on the bed in the dorm room was quite thin, which made it somewhat uncomfortable for a good night's sleep.

The showers at the accommodation were nice and had hot water, which was a plus. The room was also clean and well-maintained. the front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

The facilities felt quite dated and worn out. The owner's attitude was inappropriate at times, making me feel uncomfortable.

The hotel had a unique wilderness lounge in the middle, which added value and gave a great slice of the area's character. The dining area had lovely big picnic-style tables, perfect for enjoyable dinner conversations. The central location was convenient, with a supermarket, cafes, and restaurants within minutes' walking distance. The beds were comfortable, although taller guests may find their feet hanging over the edge. The communal kitchen was well-maintained and the host ensured it was always neat and clean. The availability of bikes allowed for enjoyable rides to nearby attractions.

Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, with convenient lockers for personal belongings. The spacious rooms had plenty of storage for luggage and the indoor garden added a LOVELY touch with its cool music. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze.

Comfortable beds, but may be a bit small for tall individuals. Central location with easy access to supermarket and dining options. Friendly and welcoming host. Well-equipped kitchen with a variety of spices available. Free bikes to use and a short trail leading to a nice beach.

Felt truly spoilt, no complaints.

Took shelter from the wild Haast in this cozy haven. Enjoyed cycling, fishing, and diving. Loved the books, free bikes, garden, and playground.

Such a shame there weren't any charging pots in the room, but I guess we can't have it all, can we?

I recently stayed at a lovely hostel in Haast with an awesome communal area. Wilderness Backpackers was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The indoor garden with its plants, couches, and eating area created a peaceful atmosphere. The spacious and clean bathrooms were a great convenience. I also loved the comfortable beds in the clean bedrooms. The owners were incredibly friendly and even provided free bikes to explore the nearby beach, which was just a short ride away. it was a chilled and relaxing experience, with nice hot showers and a fully equipped kitchen.

Nothing, it is perfect! ✨

Very comfortable bed, beautiful socializing area, helpful information about opening hours, well-stocked kitchen, accessible laundry.

Absolutely nothing.

A great place for nature lovers, with direct access to beautiful scenery and outdoor activities.

Felt lucky, no complaints.

I definitely got my money's worth at the Wilderness Backpackers. The room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of space for all my luggage. The location was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

The hotel breakfast menu could have been better with a wider range of options.

Seek refuge from the wild in this quaint hideaway, perfect after exploring Haast's untamed wonders. Loved cycling, diving, and fishing. The free bikes were a treat, and an extensive book collection for the rainy days.

Oh, but who needs WiFi or power sockets? It's all part of the "disconnect with civilization" experience.

stayed at a great spot in Haast, exceeded expectations with delicious breakfast and good coffee next door at Fantail Cafe, loved the spacious common areas and well-stocked kitchen for cooking.

Wifi voucher ran out too quickly.
