BACKPACKERS

Backpackers' lodges and youth
hostels add character and flavour to your New Zealand
travelling experience. A comfortable bed is just
the beginning. If you're travelling with a pack
on your back, there are hundreds of places to
rest your head and share stories with like-minded
people. New Zealand's backpacker lodges and youth
hostels have a reputation for being clean and
comfortable. Very good value too!
Some lodges are individually
owned and operated, others are part of a backpackers'
network. Room types vary from lodge to lodge.
Some only offer dormitory rooms (single sex on
request), others provide a choice of dormitory,
double, twin and single rooms. In most cases,
bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared. Communal
dining and living areas are great for meeting
people and finding out about where to go next.
If you're not travelling with a sleeping bag, you
can hire bed linen. Laundry facilities are available
so you can catch up on washing.

Personalize your experience
by choosing an interactive style of accommodation.
Discover the world from farm stays, to luxury
lodges, the choice is yours.
It's a customary challenge to
New Zealanders to offer visitors the very best
experience and welcome through the concept of
manaakitanga.
This is especially obvious when
you are the guest of locals at their farm, country
inn, lodge or home. Your hosts local knowledge
will add a whole other dimension to your holiday.
Often they'll take you with them on adventures,
or simply recommend good picnic spots or local
entertainment.
You can expect a comfortable,
attractive bedroom and your bathroom may be ensuite,
private or shared. Lounge and dining areas are
usually shared with other guests. In most cases
breakfast is included with lunches and dinners
optional extras.
This is un-packaged, sociable-style
accommodation that brings you into the fold of
New Zealand's people and culture.
Bed & Breakfast

Bed & Breakfast accommodation
is a wonderfully eclectic mix of all types of
hosts and houses, and this is part of its attraction.
By opening their homes and their hearts to
travellers
who need a comfortable bed a night or two, B&B
hosts are like instant friends you meet along
the way. You have your own room in the host's
house and you're served breakfast in the morning.

A treat for the night or for
your entire holiday, boutique accommodation represents
a high standard of amenities and comfort combined
with individuality and flair.
'Boutique' establishments are
almost always historic or heritage buildings or
landmarks with great character and probably also
a story behind them. The food is wonderful and
breakfast is often included in the tariff.
The locations are as diverse
as the style of boutique property and yet always
small, intimate and quintessentially New Zealand.
Farm stays (Farms stay

Wake to the smell of a hearty
farmstead breakfast. Maybe help on the farm if
you feel like it; feeding the calves, mending
a fence, rounding up the sheep. This kind of accommodation
lets you feel like part of the farming family.

Home stay hosts are naturally genial characters
and your stay with them will be enjoyably social.

HOLIDAY HOMES (Holiday

Rent a New Zealand holiday home
in an idyllic hideaway spot. Several agencies
in NZ can assist with bookings. This page for
general tourist information.
The tradition of a second home
by the sea, river, forest or lake is strong in
New Zealand. In the North Island the local word
for holiday home is ‘bach’ (pronounced
‘batch’); in the South Island they
say ‘crib’.
Renting a privately-owned holiday
home is a great way to be self-sufficient and
get into the Kiwi way of life. No two homes are
the same, so you’re getting accommodation
with character as well as comfort. And compared
to a hotel or motel, you’ll probably have
a lot more living space to enjoy.
Holiday homes range from simple
cottages by the sea to luxurious lodges in the
mountains. Some were probably built by their owners;
others are architect-designed palaces.
From a vineyard cottage in Central
Otago to a beachfront villa in the far north,
our holiday home listings include some of New
Zealand’s most idyllic locations. Browse
carefully to get the location and level of comfort
you want.
HOLIDAY PARKS (Holiday

Pitching a tent, parking a motor
home, or for a range of cost effective share or
individual accommodation options, often located
in New Zealand's most popular holiday spots.
Holiday parks are equipped to
please a wide range of people for a minimal cost.
Within an attractive landscaped setting (often
beside a beach or lake) they provide sites for
tents, caravans and campervans. Many parks also
have simple cabins, self-contained motel units
and backpackers' lodges. The casual living style
helps to create a friendly atmosphere.
If you're setting up camp or
parking a motor home, you can choose a powered
or non-powered site. Easy access to a shared kitchen
and bathroom facilities is always part of the
deal. Often you'll also have the use of a dining
area and a comfortable TV lounge. Motel units
and backpackers' lodges generally have self-contained
kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Families are attracted to holiday
parks that have play areas, heated swimming pools,
trampolines and barbecues. Bicycles, canoes and
boats can sometimes be hired.
Department of Conservation camp
sites
The Department of Conservation
(DoC) provides campsites in many locations throughout
New Zealand. The campsites are usually quite basic,
offering 'back to nature' style accommodation
and facilities. A full list of camp sites can
be found on the DoC website.
Freedom camping
(Freedom camping providers can list their

Local rules vary in different
parts of New Zealand. We suggest that you contact
the nearest i-SITE Visitor Centre before freedom
camping in a particular location. On board toilets
can only be legally emptied from motor homes into
Dump Stations, which are normally found in holiday
parks.
HOTELS (Hotel
accommodation providers can list their properties
for Free -

From international chains to
local originality, in New Zealand it’s easy
to find the style of hotel that makes you feel
at home.
Hotels in New Zealand come in all shapes, sizes
and personalities. You can expect to find top
international hotel chains, such as Sheraton,
Accor, Hilton, Hyatt, Rydges and InterContinental.
You'll also discover smaller hotels that are memorable
for their individuality and in convenient locations
on all the main travelling routes.
Large international chains are
mostly found in the major cities - Auckland, Wellington
and Christchurch. They're also located in key
holiday destinations, such as Rotorua and Queenstown.
Character and boutique hotels, which range from
heritage buildings to purpose built facilities
in stunning regional locations, vary in price
according to their level of luxury. Hosts are
welcoming and provide insight into the local culture
and attractions.
Medium-price chains provide a
consistent level of quality and a high standard
of facilities, including swimming pools and spas.
Look for names like, Mainstay, Kingsgate, Flag
Inns, Golden Chain and Pacifica.
SELF CONTAINED &
SERVICED (Providers can list their properties
for Free -
Click here to know how)
If you want to do your own thing
and have the option of looking after your own
cooking and laundry needs, then check out New
Zealand's motels and serviced apartments.
If you like independence and privacy, consider
self-contained or serviced accommodation. Staying
in motels, motor inns or serviced apartments gives
you a complete sense of freedom since what you
do is up to you.
If you're taking a touring attitude
to your holiday, motels are the key to having
easy, restful sleeps along your journey. And should
you decide to stay in one place for a week or
so, serviced apartments offer convenient stop-over
rest spots where you can do your own cooking and
laundry.
Motels (Motel
accommodation providers can list their properties
for Free -
Click here to know how)
Motels, motor inns and motor
lodges congregate on main driving routes so they're
generally easy to find with usually a choice of
studio, one or two bedroom units. Tea, coffee
and sometimes cooking facilities are provided
and most units have a television. Larger motels
are more similar to hotels often with swimming
pool, spa, sauna, in-house video, laundry, and
restaurant.
Serviced Apartments
Serviced apartments are a great
option when you're staying in a major city or
resort town. You can cook your own meals, do your
own laundry and enjoy the feeling of having your
own space while on holiday. Many are similar in
price to a high quality hotel suite with daily
or regular servicing.
