overview

This friendly, family-run backpacker hostel earns its excellent reputation for its welcoming ambiance, modern facilities and high standard of cleanliness. YHA Hokitika is warm, comfortable, homely, quiet, and charming.

Our communal facilities are well-organized and neatly presented - guests love relaxing in our lounge with an ocean view, and our unique native bird-themed artwork throughout by our own resident artist. Guests also love our Bushman's Baths, outdoors under the glorious NZ stars. Enjoy stunning sunsets, ocean views, and a native garden with frequent visits from tui, bellbird, weka and fantails.

Access to the beach is a 2 minute walk from the hostel and the free Glow Worm Dell and town centre are a 2 minute drive by car. We're happy to share our local knowledge and suggestions on local activities including walking tracks, New Zealand’s only Treetop Walkway, the stunning Hokitika Gorge, views of Mount Cook and the Southern Alps, lakes, bushwalks, fishing and kayaking.
