Wonderful!
The property is welcoming and you feel safe. Also located with a beautiful view. There is also heater inside the room as it was winter when I stayed.

Questions about Waiheke Backpackers Hostel

What time is check-in and check-out at Waiheke Backpackers Hostel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Waiheke Backpackers Hostel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Waiheke Backpackers Hostel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Waiheke Backpackers Hostel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Waiheke Backpackers Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Waiheke Backpackers Hostel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
