Finlay Jack's Backpackers 4.5 stars

Finlay Jack's Backpackers offers an ideal location in Taupo. The hostel offers single bed dormitory's.

Taupo is an absolute mecca for all things outdoors – including hiking the famous Tongariro crossing, trout fishing, skydiving, jet boating, white water rafting, mountain biking and sailing on the Great Lake with the hostel's yacht 'Fearless'. The staff was friendly and the place was safe and clean. I like the big kitchen and the garden. There is a laundry room.
