Welcome to the Hanmer Backpackers website!

Hanmer Backpackers is the most centrally located hostel in beautiful Hanmer Springs. Our hostel is a small, cosy and warm Swiss chalet style backpackers providing excellent accommodation to independent travellers at low prices.

Our small, homey hostel is often referred to as a house rather than a hostel. However we are able to offer a variety of rooms. There are 5 rooms with shared faclities (dormitory, single, twin, double, triple or family rooms) and one ensuite room which can be booked as a double or twin room.

The main attraction of Hanmer Springs are of course the Thermal Pools, which are located about 5 minutes walk from our hostel! Don't make the mistake to think the Thermal Pools are the only attraction in this stunning alpine town. It is a fabulous place for skiing, hiking, rafting, bungee jumping, quad biking, golf, fishing, mountain biking, shopping and many more things.

We are looking forward to helping you to make sure you have a great stay in Hanmer Springs and the rest of New Zealand.
