Chateau Backpackers & Motels, hotel in Franz Josef

Surrounded by rainforest and mountains, Chateau Backpackers & Motels offers an outdoor fire pit, BBQ facilities.

I loved being able to get a single room for a good price, even though it came with shared amenities. The property is quite spacious and has plenty of things to do including a spa, exercise room, and laundry. The spa isn't anything special, but is included - which saves splurging on another hot spa option in town if you're traveling by yourself. It's on the edge of the town's centre, so close enough to walk to almost everything.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best hostel we have stayed in New Zealand. Modern, cozy, great shower pressure, spacious kitchen with dining area, there is even sauna with cold shower outside. Super friendly staff and in general nice atmosphere. We extended our stay for one more night and would definitely stay again.
