The Old Breadshop Backpackers
About
The Old Breadshop Backpackers in South Island sits at 155 Buller Road, Reefton 7830, New Zealand, and holds a 4.6 out of 5 average from 38 reviews.
Beds are available for backpackers and independent travellers passing through the region, and the hostel is known for its character and the friendly atmosphere that guests consistently remark on. Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are all within reach for those touring the South Island by road.
First-time visitors should expect a relaxed, communal setup rather than a hotel, with shared facilities and a location on the main road through Reefton.
Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, so most guests arrive by road. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, which is worth factoring into travel plans. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
