Quality budget backpacker accommodation – We are open again in 2026!

Wanaka Bakpaka offers great budget backpacker accommodation for the independent traveller. We are the only hostel in Wanaka located right on the lakeside giving you spectacular picture postcard views of Lake Wanaka and the Southern Alps.

Away from the town hustle but still only a 5 minute lakeside stroll to the centre for shopping, cafés, bars and restaurants.

We have 3-4 bed dorms, double and twin rooms on offer. Book online direct with us for the best rates.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Wanaka Bakpaka.
