Black Sheep Backpackers in Queenstown is an incredible spot that captures the adventurous spirit of this vibrant town. What I love most about it is its fun and friendly atmosphere—it feels like a home away from home. There’s nothing quite like unwinding in the warm bubbles of the jacuzzi or enjoying the soothing heat of the sauna while taking in the backpacker vibe. The lounge area is another standout feature. It’s cozy, inviting, and a great spot to meet fellow travelers or simply chill with a good book or some Netflix after an active day. The thoughtful setup creates a laid-back and social atmosphere that’s hard to beat. The facilities are top-notch for a backpacker’s accommodation, especially the hot tub and cozy communal lounge, which are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The dorms and private rooms are clean, comfortable, and Its central location is another highlight—it’s just a short walk to the lake, restaurants, bars, and all the action Queenstown has to offer. Despite being close to everything, the property maintains a peaceful vibe, making it a great place to relax. The staff at Black Sheep are fantastic—always cheerful and happy to help with local tips or activity bookings. It’s the perfect base for travelers who want to make their Queenstown adventure. People staying in the hostel are very nice. :) good community. I will definitely stay in this place when I go back to queenstown.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
