Description
Kakapo Lodge Backpackers, Hanmer Springs YHA is a two-storey, purpose-built backpackers lodge with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

We are located a 2-minute walk from the thermal reserve and the village centre.

Enjoy the summer sunshine outside up on the sunny decks or read a good book down in the peaceful garden. Make the most of the evening sun and do all your cooking outside on the BBQs provided.

Winter is warm at Kakapo Lodge with a log fire and under-floor heating as well as extra duvets and blankets on request. On those cold nights cook up a storm in our large communal kitchen and dining room.

We have a range of DVDs for hire, which can be watched upstairs in the Lounge. Or you can grab a book from our Book Exchange to read during your stay.

Downstairs are the Computer Terminals which offer Internet as well as a place to upload all of your great holiday snaps. WiFi is available throughout the hostel.

Kakapo Lodge is a great base for your tramping or mountain biking adventures. Transport is available to the new St James cycleway and all the tramping tracks in the Lewis Pass area. Storage is available at the lodge.

4  More personable than most YHA properties Stayed in a private double room with en-suite in May 2007. The room was clean and comfortable, good value for budget travelers. Common spaces were pretty ordinary. It is an easy five- to eight-minute walk to the hot springs and shops, and there is ample parking. The owners/managers were friendly and available to help. This was certainly the most personable (and smallest) YHA property we stayed at in New Zealand.  , USA ()
2  This hostel is on the very low end of average. The furniture in the lounge is shabby, the kitchen was dirty, ill-equipped, and poorly arranged. The tables are to small and there are only two sinks for everyone to do their washing in. There are cheaper, nicer options to be had in Hanmer Springs.  , USA ()
