You’ll Find Us in the Centre of Auckland. Easy, Central, and Close to Everything.
We’re fun, not fancy — just a relaxed, central spot where travellers can find community, a safe place to land, and easy access to everything Auckland has to offer. Tucked up on the top floor of a heritage building, we’re right in the heart of the city, just steps from Queen Street and the Skytower. Whether you’re flying solo, travelling with mates, or arriving as a group, we’ve got clean, comfortable rooms and a friendly team who’ll go out of their way to help you feel at home.
Comfy dorms. Chill corners. Shared vibes.
Mixed / single-sex dorms
Shared rooms with comfy bunks, natural light, and a good mix of people. Female-only options available too.
Private rooms & dorms
Our private rooms give you a little breathing room (and no bunkmates) — perfect for pairs or solo travellers.
Social / communal spaces
From the rooftop terrace to the large kitchen, you’ll find plenty of space to chat, chill, or do your own thing.
