YHA National Park

The YHA National Park hostel is the closest backpackers to the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing, New Zealands National Parks of Tongariro and Whanganui and dual World Heritage area. With magnificent views of the volcanoes right from the doorstep, the National Park hostel accommodation ranges from budget backpacker beds to private ensuite rooms. Other facilities include a fully equipped kitchen, BBQ area, outdoor spa pool, internet access and a laundry and drying room which is especially useful after tackling the Tongariro Crossing or a hard days skiing at Mt Ruapehu. There is a friendly, social environment at the YHA National Park Backpackers which is partly due to the fact that the hostel has been built around a challenging 8 metre high indoor climbing wall! Open daily with 55 different climbs, gear hire and free instruction, you must give this climbing wall a try while staying at YHA National Park. There is a bar/restaurant just next door and other amenities like ski hire, postal services and takeaways are a short walking distance from the National Park hostel. The National Park hostel is a booking agent and pick up point for the Tongariro Crossing shuttle, Whanganui River trip and Mt Ruapehu skifield shuttles in winter. At YHA National Park Backpackers we will endeavour to service your every need and if we don't have it, our hostel staff will point you in the right direction!
