Welcome to Adventure Queenstown Hostel. Catering to independent travellers from around the world we offer mostly shared room accommodation and run in-house activities 5 nights a week to make it easy to meet fellow explorers from all around the world. Our beds are solid timber bunks with comfortable innerspring mattresses. Balcony spaces are the best in town and a great place to enjoy a drink in the sun. The lounge and dining areas are large for a small hostel which allows plenty of room to chill out, or you can cook up a feast in the well equipped kitchen. There is a tour desk where our friendly staff can help you plan your activities, as well as a separate storage/locker room with secure bicycle parking and ski & snowboard storage. We offer loads of free stuff and even a simple laundry service. We are a smaller hostel with a maximum capacity of just 43 people - the perfect number for keeping a family atmosphere which is still fun and vibrant. Being the most central accommodation in town, you're just a minutes' walk to everything. At night you can sleep soundly as there are no bars directly by us. Operated by a well-travelled owner we draw on experience from having collected the best ideas from hostels in dozens of different countries and putting them all in the one place amazing place!
Amazing and friendly staff! Always willing to help us and give us the best advise! Definitely would recommend to anyone I know! The location is amazing with a travel guid in the same building, you will never be board! The hostel is very neat and very clean

Good location but very unclean. Arrived here to find dirty tissues and food wrappers on the floor that remained there for the entirety of my trip. A couple of days in when looking for something lost around my bed, found many many food wrappers around the side of my bed. Bathrooms were not well ventilated and had some mould. Most things in the kitchen were very dirty including fridges, plates, floors and the cleaning equipment itself. Such a shame as the location is great and all the staff are very nice. Good vibes for partying.

I stayed here for two weeks as they had a 14 day stay policy, I was snowboarding most days so it was more somewhere to put the head down of a night, majority of the staff were very friendly had issues with one in particular in the way she conducted herself and how she spoke to guests staying at the hostel, great kitchen facilities for eating in rooms were relatively cosy and most travellers were quite friendly, people partied almost every night during my stay which was alright for the first few nights but by the end of my first two weeks I was ready to relocate to a different hostel for that reason overall not a bad stay would stay again but uncertain for long term

I stayed here during Queenstown marathon. My room was double room with ensuite “James’ room”. The hostel is great location at the central of town, close to everything. It is very close to the pick-up bus and the finishing line. It’s 3min walking from the hostel to the bus stop to the airport. I will stay here again when I visit Queenstown. PS. My room is opposite Fat Badgers pizza bar. It was a bit noisy on Friday (people were chatting).

This hostel is excellent, in a great location. The women's dorm room was nice and had an ensuite bathroom with an excellent powerful shower, which was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. They had lots of activities for guests to do. The kitchen and dining area was big and well stocked. The atmosphere in the hostel was relaxed and friendly, and guests didn't make any noise after about 10pm as those who weren't sleeping would go out to the bars rather than stay in the hostel to party.

This is one of the first times I have stayed in a hostel, I am pleasantly surprised! The rooms are clean, good shower which is also clean, they provide a towel, free WiFi, a lounge room with a massive TV and Netflix, a big kitchen area, lovely friendly staff, right in the centre so plenty in walking distance including the Gondola and Luge... So much more than what I expected!

Such wonderful staff! Each night has a fun set of activities planned and everyone in the hostel is super friendly so it's easy to make friends! Hostel is very clean and there is a nice outdoor area. Each bunk bed comes with USB charging port and lamp. Stayed in 3 other hostels in Queenstown and this one was by far the best!!
