Base Auckland is New Zealand's most famous hostel located right in the heart of the city - central to shops, cafés, museums and only a couple of minutes’ walk to train, bus and ferry terminals. The airport bus (Airbus) stops right outside the door! This quality hostel offers comfy beds in a clean, modern and secure environment ranging from en-suite doubles to small and large shared dorms. There is also a Sanctuary wing for girls only. Great for individuals and groups!

Base Auckland’s excellent starter and work packs along with an expert job search centre sets it apart from the rest, guaranteeing to find jobs for travellers who are keen to work whilst abroad.

When it comes to socializing, our hostel can’t be beaten, with nightly entertainment on offer! Start the night off at the Balcony Bar (seasonal) on the 6th floor of Base Auckland, and then join the travellers down at New Zealand’s biggest party bar, the famous Globe Bar. What are you waiting for?

Once through the Customs area, you can turn either left or right. To the left is marked Tours & Groups, this will take you to the bus staging, shuttle and taxi ranks areas outside the glass doors of the building. The Airbus is on the extreme right, past the taxi rank. An Airbus leaves every 20 min. [5:00am - 10pm] from there and this is the cheapest ride into Auckland. They will drop you at our door.

We also have a free phone to Base Auckland backpackers in the Visitor's Information Centre in the main arrivals area. The Receptionist can arrange for a Shuttle driver to collect you from the free phone or give you instructions to get to the Shuttle Rank.
