 "This hostel had the dirtiest kitchen we found on our entire trip! No dishes were ever done, and the appliances didn't work. We got bedbugs after one night there, and the others staying at the hostel were quite unfriendly." … Dormitories (small & large) Singles Doubles Twins Family rooms Large family room (sleeps 9) Outdoors:-Half an acre of grounds & gardens Outdoor tables &...

 "This place is under new ownership. The owners are great guys and the atmosphere is really great there at the moment." … "The only place where a backpacker will feel at home, where they will bend over backwards to get you a job. Make you motivated to get you out and socalise. guaranteed to keep you happy and a promise to get laid. never to let you starve. and great craic all around. and a...
 "I've stayed here twice and I'd say it's a great bargain. Facilities were very clean and you can get most of the benefits of a motel room at a budget price. Great for a single traveler or a couple, probably less good with a large group (didn't use the communal facilities myself). Host was a bit odd, but fine if you don't want to be sociable." … Siesta Backpackers are located in Hastings on...
 "Really nice people and a great atmosphere. You need to get used to the owner; she's out of this world. You honestly won't believe the stuff she comes out with sometimes. Great working base. You can sort IRD numbers and work, etc." … "I stayed at AJ's a few years back whilst working in New Zealand. I have to say it was a home away from home. Alan and Jackie were great hosts and the long...
 "This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. The owner charged outrageous rates for very basic accommodation, and regularly "forgot" to clean our room. She was quite rude to us even as she collected our rent money week after week, and when she was in a position to help us out with something serious recently, she turned downright bitchy. The noise was awful, the kitchen was filthy, and the...
 "This is the best backpackers I've ever been to! The location is beautiful and it's very convenient. Very nice accommodations.

Hastings Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by David Morgan
Hastings is known throughout the world as a place to avoid. I stayed for a few days and it lived up to its claimed reputation. It is backward with a railway line running through the middle of the CBD. The native population are known for there ability to steal anything not padlocked down. The orchards/vineyards are filled with thieves, so look out if you have any cash on your person.

Hastings has lots of work, especially during the fruits season like the apple thinning, grapes pruning/picking/harvesting season, or maybe you can try the indoor work like working in a packhouse (apples, blueberry, pumpkin, carrot/tomatoes, and many more depending on the fruit season). The work is rated per hourly. There are many work agencies in Hastings that could help you to find a job there if you are interested in earning yourself some pocket money to go on the next journey, so you don't have to worry about "What am I going to do -- I'm almost broke and won't be able to move on my trip."

Although Hasting is quite a small city, you can find anything around you -- shopping centre (Pak N Save etc), banks, post office, backpackers, and many more to your convenience.

Some call Hastings the fruit bowl and it's easy to get a job there.
Comment by Stephanie
Hastings is seven hours from the city of Auckland, but I never felt the tiredness traveling all the way down there. In fact I enjoyed every minute watching the view and scenery all along. In Hastings, there is lots of work -- either outside or indoor jobs. Working under the sun is really so enjoyable -- at the orchard jobs, the time passed so quickly that I didn't notice that it was time to go home. The indoor work at packhouse is not outside under the shining sun, and it's quite boring doing the same work at the machine every day. No matter what, I will go back to Hastings again -- it has sort of sweet memories for me.

Hastings has a very peaceful and quiet environment and anyone there could also find themselves some enjoyable work, like apple picking or grape harvesting. It's so enjoyable to mix around with so many people from all over the world and yet at the same time we can earn some money.

I love Hastings so much, I stayed and worked there with my son, Kevin, in 2006 and 2007 and it was a great experience to work in the orchard farms, including a month working in a blueberry pack house. We made lots of friends from all over the world and learned some of their languages too. I really hope that one day I have the chance to go back there again or to work there again.

Wir listen kostenlos Informationen zu Jugendherbergen. Das ist eine internationale Webseite mit Informationen zu Herbergen, welche von jungen Rucksackreisenden gestaltet wurde. Unser Ziel ist es, umfassend zu allen Jugendherbergen weltweit zu informieren, inkl. Listungen und Einschätzungen (und sofern vorhanden mit Online-Buchungen und Reservierungen). Wir listen auch preiswerte Hotels, Wohnungen, preisgünstige Pensionen und Gasthäuser oder andere Unterbringungen separat, die für Backpacker geeignet sind. Eine Herberge bedeutet in diesem Sinne eine Unterbringung in einem Schlafsaal mit mehreren Betten.
