(from 643 reviews)

Good match for:

  • Adventure Seekers: Easy access to bungee, skiing, and jet-boat tours via the on-site booking desk.
  • Social Travelers: Free BBQs, quiz nights, and communal areas make it easy to meet new people.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Luxury Travelers: Basic dorms and communal bathrooms suit budget stays, not upscale comfort.
  • Family Trips: No cribs or extra beds are available, and dorms may not suit young children.

I had an awesome stay at Blacksheep Backpackers and I just want to give a huge shoutout to Telisha. She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and always happy to help with anything I needed. Whether it was tips about the area or just a quick chat, she made the place feel really welcoming. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests and enjoys her job. My stay was definitely better because of...

Great place, loved the amenities, and the space creates a social / intimate environment so it's easy to get to know other guests and make friends if you're traveling alone. Also most of the staff were super friendly and accommodating! And you can't really beat the central location just 1 block from the main stretch of downtown!

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, Sauna and hot pool are massive bonuses and people are the best. Great views from everywhere, staff super chilled. Only gripe is how little space the bottom bunk has in comparison to the top but that’s just me being bias because I kept hitting my head. Definitely gonna book this hostel every time I’m in Qtown.

Great location, short walk to town. Fantastic staff- friendly, helpful, welcoming and they really make it feel like a homely experience. Great facilities- reliably super clean and tidy, love the sauna and spa, and bike rental choices available. Have stayed here several times during different seasons and will happily choose to stay here again on future visits to Queenstown. Thank you! 😊

Great facilities for a backpackers and a chilled atmosphere. Location is great being out of the hustle of the town but only a 2 minute walk away. Sauna and hot tub are awesome bonuses which are free to use. Private room was great with a wee fridge and jug which made my stay convenient. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. Enjoyed my stay here!
