The Flaming Kiwi Backpackers

Good stay at Flaming Kiwi. I booked one of the private cabins and found it very comfortable and clean. The hostel overall is well-maintained and has a relaxed atmosphere. Great location within walking distance to the center. A solid option if you're looking for a quiet and clean place in Queenstown

Second time staying at Flaming Kiwi and it still delivers! I stayed in the private cabins this time. The common areas are really cozy and having 3 kitchens is a huge plus, you never have to wait to cook. It’s a great spot for solo travelers who want a friendly but chilled atmosphere. Definitely recommend it!

Highly recommend

Only stayed for a night, it’s a nice place, just a bit outside of the town

This place really felt like a home, small, cozy and social. Loved it 🫶🏻

I am a solo female traveler and I absolutely loved my stay at FKBs!!! The people I met here were very kind and welcoming and I loved getting involved in the Hostel’s Games and Movie nights! Throughout my stay the hostel was cleanly and spacious, I will definitely be back!!

Wifi deed het in de slaapkamer niet, vaak moeten wachten tot een wc of douche vrij was. Nachtmanager sprak slecht Engels. Niet voor herhaling vatbaar

Very good hostel, well run, nice manager and staff. Clean and in great location in Queenstown. Social hostel also suitable for more mature travellers, you get a good sleep here. I would stay again

Pretty good. Facilities could use some money being spent on them to upgrade them

Beds were lush, kitchen and shared areas were lovely overall can’t complain

so cute, clean, and cozy!!

Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating, 10/10 nice staff and guests

hostel pequeño, ideal para socializar, buenas actividades durante la temporada

Flaming kiwi is one of the best hostels that I’ve stayed at in my life. Not only is the property super convenient and very well kept/clean. The staff/all the guests make you feel like family. I didn’t intend to stay in QT this often but just kept coming back. It’s become my little home base for my travels around the South Island. The games nights, yoga and engagement with fellow travelers/long term residents is the most welcoming I’ve felt in a place in a long time. Thank you, I’ll be ...

Was one of my favourite hostels to date. The staff are wonderful and make you feel welcome

Stayed in a cabin with ensuite and it was perfect for a 1 week ski trip! There was enough space for me with my snowboard bag and all my gear. The cabins were brand new and well ventilated, with a great heater and excellent hot water with good pressure. Josh from reception was very helpful before and during the trip. Kitchens inside hostel were kept clean. Cardrona bus stops outside, Remarks bus is an easy 5 min walk. Quiet part of town and close to 2 supermarkets. Loved this cabin and hostel!

Fantastic hostel for everything you want as a solo travel except the social atmosphere. Stayed during the snow season and the hostel had a lot of long term visitors. There was no social atmosphere at all. Otherwise, great location, clean hostel and comfy beds!

I had a great stay at this hostel! The staff were super friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, and the location was perfect—close to the town center, library and supermarket. The common areas were cozy and made it easy to meet other travelers. Also, they have a lot of free social events. Would definitely stay here again!

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at! Loved the staff, the people, the lounge area - especially Jose is the loveliest guy who’s always happy to help.

A very nice, clean and cozy hostel with the most friendliest staff I’ve met so far on a long way of traveling. The manager Josh and assistent manager José make sure you feel at home at the FKB
