Amazing and chilled hostel with free massage chair:)

A great location, and a cute little chalet. Enjoyed having the room at the top to ourselves in this quiet season.

Love this Backpackers, the staff are great and the facilities for Backpackers are very good. stayed here earlier on the trip and liked it so much I changed the return to be here from another location. It's a short walk to all the restaurants and bars in town.

Awesome value for money right in Hamner! Awesome !

The location is very central, there is off street parking and a private area around the back. Relaxed atmosphere. Host (Tristan) very welcoming and helpful

The hostel is located right on the edge of town so easy walking distance to the pubs, shops, thermal pools etc. The manager was very helpful recommending walks and the beds were super comfy.

Ex Comfortable bed, outdoor area, access to amenities, friendly staff, good cold storage in kitchen for food. good hanging spaces. Great access to lines for drying washing or wet tents. Ease of booking.

Loved our stay at Hanmer Backpackers and highly recommend to anyone visiting Hanmer. Excellent facilities, great location (close walking distance to restaurants, pools etc.), and kind hosts.

This is a cozy place and we enjoyed our stay. The 15-minute free massage and the board games are good addition.

Meeting new people every so often while staying there, socializing with others and how welcoming everyone was
