The location was close to the Queenstown gardens and to many nice restaurants and shopping. We also rented bikes from the hostel and biked all around the Frankton Arm. The hot tub and outdoor seating were a bonus as well! ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Black sheep backpackers was incredible. The staff are friendly and professional. The facilities were excellent. The dorm rooms are clean with ample storage and a privacy curtain. The beds were comfortable and warm during the winter season. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare your meals. There is good storage for food in the fridge and a place for dry goods. The hot tub and sauna are real assets. Great after a day skiing biking or hiking or just to relax. Above all, the highlight to this property is the people you meet. All ages and backgrounds are welcome and mingle to share experiences and make new memories. Don’t hesitate. Book this hostel. You won’t be disappointed. 😊 ##### Nicholas Stayed 17 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Private room was good size and comfortable, but there was nowhere to hang a towel. Would’ve been good to have a socket by the bed and a lamp in the room. Hostel itself has nice facilities - good kitchen for cooking, big communal lounge area which always has someone in it, outdoor tables, clean bathrooms and showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is close to town but a short walk up a hill. There were a lot of long term stays which did make the social vibe a bit different and maybe not so geared towards solo travellers just passing through for a few days, although everyone I spoke to was really nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Zachary 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities When booking our reservation, there were definitely a few potentially concerning reviews, but frankly I have to wonder if those people understood they were booking at a hostel. The overall experience was quite good -- my partner and I stayed in one of the private rooms and while it was a nice stay. Bed was quality, good black-out blinds for the windows. Heater was very effective. Helpful friendly staff. Objectively, the fact that you have to go outside and walk a bit to access the bathroom and the bathroom needs a keycode to enter becomes a bit annoying, but you do not need your phone to enter the bathroom as one reviewer seemed to think. ##### Zachary Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody 20 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was amazing and a nice clean spot ##### Cody Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 4 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well maintained Hostel. ##### John Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Was a really great time spent at black sheep 👍😉 ##### Alice Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Monica 12 Feb 2023 Liked: Staff & service location great but felt for what our room was ,was somewhat overpriced ##### Monica Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bogard 18 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great to have bike hire for free.

Unfortunately noise was a frequent issue- be it door slamming, drinking, people wrestling at night, blasting music etc. Broken hot tub not fixed the week I was there, kitchen burners not working well, Wi-Fi unable to keep up with the demand on it. The staff are quite helpful and really pleasant- the accommodation is lacking in many areas unfortunately so I cannot recommend it overall. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lee 20 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Although there were 2 bathrooms I found them to not have enough hanging space, bathroom benches were small and often wet to put anything on. Had to use toilet paper to wipe dry, no paper towels. The second shower offered no privacy to change or dress or shelf to put shampoo etc on ##### Lee Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenji 21 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities スタッフはフレンドリーで立地も街の中心に近く便利でした。 ##### Kenji Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mayumi 29 Nov 2024 夜になるとスタッフがいないため、ハメをはずすゲスト。 また、チェックインがミッドナイト 2時以降で4時近く迄ガサガサと騒音が止まらない。 ##### Mayumi Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Fumi 17 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities クイーンズタウン中心部から徒歩10分程度、空港から市内のシャトルバスの停留所から徒歩5分と非常に便利なロケーションにあります。初めてこの手の施設を利用したので最初使い方には戸惑いましたがスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれます。（専用のアプリをダウンロードしてチェックイン、ルームキーやお風呂のキーも、そのアプリに表示される形です） 共用のキッチンは広く、フライパンや色々なものが揃っています。（電子レンジやポットなどもあります。コーヒー・紅茶はfreeです） 共用のシャワーバスとトイレは一緒になっていて、脱衣所がないので最初どうしようかな、と？思いましたが手洗い場をうまく使って乗り切りました。シャワーバスの左右にはフックがあり物が掛けられるようになってます。そこに着替えなどが入る袋をかけておくと便利かもしれません。ドライヤーは備え付けがあるので便利です。かなりオススメです！ ##### Fumi Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### yingdi 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 公共区域还行，床有点小，热水不好调 ##### yingdi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalia 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy bien ubicado ##### Natalia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ?? 25 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities バスルームに、着替えなどを置く場所が欲しかったです。 スタッフの対応や施設はとても清潔で良かったです。 ##### ??
