TMACS Backpackers
About
TMACS Backpackers serves North Island from 118 Nelson Street in the Auckland CBD. Guests rate it 4 out of 5 across 37 reviews, a fair record for a hostel in the middle of the city.
The Nelson Street position puts it within walking distance of the Auckland waterfront and the main transport links, so arrivals from the airport or the intercity buses can reach it without a car. Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth are all connected to Auckland by road and coach, which makes the hostel a practical first or last stop on a North Island route. As a hostel, it offers shared accommodation in the centre of the country's largest city.
Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, though the Auckland CBD is easy enough on foot. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude.
The Southern Alps run down the South Island, and the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, both within reach of Auckland by road. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840, a history visible in place names around the city.
