🥘 You'll be cooking up a feast in one of the country's best hostel kitchens, that features everything from crockpot's to food processors.

⁉️ Our friendly staff can help you plan your activities, offer tips and tricks, as well as Winter kit hire in Ski-season.

Really friendly little hostel in the centre of Queenstown. All the facilities were clean and tidy and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The social events each evening were an added bonus and the hostel had a great vibe about it. Overall a really great time and I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful stay at Adventure Queenstown! The first stop on my husband and I’s adventure to New Zealand! We had the private room which was absolutely lovely. Spacious, clean, lovely bathroom with all necessities, the balcony was an absolute bonus and incredible! Lovely to have that space but also the chance to meet others in the communal spaces - kitchen was brilliant and had everything could need and loads of room. The staff were all absolutely lovely, so friendly and warm! 10/10! Thank you!
