Lazy Dog Backpackers

4.7(143 reviews)

About

Lazy Dog Backpackers, on North Island, keeps 37 Waller Street, Murchison 7007, New Zealand as its base for travellers passing through the region.

First-time visitors should expect shared accommodation in a setting built for travellers moving through the region rather than a polished hotel. A 4.7 out of 5 average across 143 reviews places it among the better-regarded hostels on the island. Reaching Murchison from the main centres is a long drive, with Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton all sitting some distance away, so most guests arrive as part of a longer journey. Rotorua, Taupo, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth sit within the same travelling network, giving guests several directions to continue once they leave.

Its website, http://www.lazycow.co.nz/, provides further reference for the business.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so travellers planning a stay should weigh which end of the year suits them. New Zealand's temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters largely free of snow at low altitude, which shapes what to pack for a stay here. Ferries serve Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, while a Cook Strait service links the two main islands for those crossing between them. Rugby union draws a nationwide following, and the national team plays in black.
