Geeky Gecko Backpackers
About
Meet Geeky Gecko Backpackers, a local business in South Island, running as a hostel at 6 Stafford Street, Central Dunedin, Dunedin 9016. The address places it in central Dunedin, on the island's south-eastern coast.
Geeky Gecko Backpackers trades as a hostel rather than a motel or hotel, and a 3.1 out of 5 average from 136 reviews reflects the range of responses from guests who have stayed. Three photographs accompany the listing, showing the premises. Dunedin sits within reach of Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura, so the hostel works as a base for travellers moving along the island.
First-time visitors can expect shared backpacker accommodation in the city centre, with the three photos giving a sense of the rooms and common areas. Central Dunedin's grid puts the address within walking distance of the surrounding streets.
Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which matters for anyone arriving without a vehicle. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
