Nomad's Backpackers features one of the best locations in Queenstown, located in the heart of the town center, a 328 feet from the stunning Lake Whakatipu. Nomads Queenstown offers a variety of room types, from small and large dormitories to Private King rooms with en-suite. Many of the rooms have balconies with picturesque views of Lake Whakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. There is an onsite cinema room, sauna and common area complete with smart TV, pool table, foosball table and vending machine. Guests can sample some of Otago’s finest wines or dabble in adrenaline, our onsite information desk will be able to book and organize a range of activities. As we are located in the heart of Queenstown one side of our property backs onto a popular social street (Searle Lane). Due to this we do experience noise from local bars especially over the weekend so please contact us directly if you are a lighter sleeper and we will do our best to allocate you to a room on the Church Street side of our property which is quieter. We also have free ear plugs available at our 24-hour reception if required. Please note that although the majority of our rooms have balconies, there is a small amount which face onto the laneway and only have a window. If you would like to ensure you have a balcony please email us directly on info@nomadsqueenstown.com or call us on +64 3 4413922.
