First-time hostel guests can count on a shared room, a communal kitchen and a sociable lounge where travellers swap route notes. The hostel holds a 4.4 out of 5 average from 175 reviews, a solid record for a backpacker base in Auckland. Its Mount Eden setting puts guests on the city fringe rather than the middle of the CBD.
The website carries photo galleries and recent guest write-ups, so it is worth a look before booking. Opening hours are not part of the listing, so arrival times are worth confirming directly when you reserve.
English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear on signs throughout the country. Ferries link the mainland to Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, with a Cook Strait service joining the two main islands. The North Island's volcanic plateau, with its hot springs and geysers, sits within reach for those heading south.
