About Te Anau Lakefront Backpackers

The wonderful small town of Te Anau is the gateway to some of New Zealand’s most outstanding outdoor experiences, and Te Anau Lakefront Backpackers is the perfect place to explore it all from. Located on the lakefront and just five-minutes’ walk from the shops, you can take in the views, cook outside or in, and kick back in our gardens to the sounds of our local native birds. 

We also have everything you need to get set for the great outdoors or recover after an epic day in the elements, including secure storage, laundry, comfy beds, free Wifi and a movie room.

You can also book all your outdoor activities, such as tours of Milford or Doubtful Sound, Glow Worm Caves and other adventures with our friendly, helpful staff who love to explore just as much as you! They look forward to welcoming you to the only Lakefront Backpackers in Te Anau.
