Great Barrier Island Backpackers and Budget Accommodation

For budget conscious travellers, backpacker accommodation and budget accommodation in Great Barrier Island will help stretch your backpacking travelling dollar that much further.

Backpackers and youth hostels were originally geared to the younger traveller, offering ideal student accommodation and youth accommodation in shared lodgings. Now backpackers, budget hostels and cheap hotels also cater extremely well for groups and families. Accommodation is available not just in dormitories, but in ensuite rooms, single and double rooms.

At backpacking accommodation and (most) budget hostels the emphasis is on communal living with shared kitchens, bathrooms and lounges. Kitchens are equipped with everything that you might need, from cups to crockery, pots to pie dishes, washing up liquid to tea towels. Backpackers and guests cook for themselves (or in a group) and clearing away dishes and keeping communal areas clean and tidy is expected.

Backpacking lounges tend to be great places for meeting backpackers from all around the country and the world. Most Great Barrier Island backpacker accommodations and budget hostels provide excellent information about the local area, tours and activities. Also available to backpackers are discount vouchers and passes which can save money on further accommodation, transport, sightseeing and activities.

Backpackers accommodation may be located in areas of great natural beauty and in visitor hotspots. This means that you can see the best of Great Barrier Island without necessarily spending a huge amount of money on accommodation.

Backpackers and hostel users generally host like-minded people in these relatively cheap accommodations, sharing for example a love of the great outdoors and outdoor pursuits such as hiking and adventure sports.
