We are so grateful for this experience. The staff and others staying in the hostel were so welcoming and kind. The location was perfect for everything you would need to have a great time day or night. My family will miss everyone and we feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful group of travelers to spend time with while away from home. The staff went above and beyond to make the stay memorable. We can’t thank you enough. They even made them a cake, going away card and helped during their stay. Thank you so much for everything. Haley is the best! Definitely recommend the Mountain View Backpackers Hostel. Myles and Veda

We have one private room (it shows up on booking.com) with a queen sized bed in it. We do take long term bookings directlyAnswered on 27 June 2022Hi. it’s advertised as single occupancy of Double Room, does it means there should only be one person staying and not two?
hi there, it is loaded as for 1-2 people. It is a room price for up to 2 people so if there are two of you that is absolutely fine . :-)Answered on 19 February 2023Hello, would this place be suitable and convenient as a resting place to go Snowboarding in Treble Cone? Does it have a good transport connection to the Ski piste? A bus connection of sorts?
