YHA Taupo Finlay Jacks Backpackers
About
In North Island, YHA Taupo Finlay Jacks Backpackers occupies 20 Taniwha Street, Taupō 3330, New Zealand, a spot in the town of Taupō at the heart of the central plateau. The hostel runs as a backpacker base for travellers moving between Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth, so most of the island's main centres sit within a day's drive. Its reputation rests on a 4.5 out of 5 average gathered from 577 reviews, a substantial body of feedback for a hostel of this size.
First-time visitors can expect the usual rhythm of a well-reviewed backpacker lodge, with the Taupō address placing it close to the lake and the town centre. Rotorua, one of the nearby towns, is a short drive north, while Auckland and Wellington anchor the two ends of the island. The website at http://www.finlayjacks.co.nz/ carries the details of what is on offer for anyone planning a stay.
Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the busiest months for travel fall around the turn of the year. Booking ahead during that window makes sense for anyone passing through Taupō.
The 4.5 out of 5 average across 577 reviews places the hostel among the more established options in the town. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands, which helps anyone extending a trip beyond the North Island.
