Backpackers International

P O Box 878, Avarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Newly renovated and updated to give you a very clean and spacious homely feel. The friendliest family owned and operated hostel on the island.

Having a lifetime of experience, we are experts on our islands history, culture; customs and aim to help you save money but still have the fulfilling island style experience and converting you to the laid back, fun loving island style.

We offer 12 twin rooms and 10 double rooms with similar configuration.

Our spacious kitchen and dining area is great for everyone to cook and appreciate their own personal masterpieces. Large common area so it is really easy to socialise.

We offer a range of different activities all designed for budget travellers, creating a comfortable social atmosphere for everyone. From Beach volleyball, to nature walks, to night tours. Don't forget, we do a wicked authentic island feast on Thursdays All-You-Can-Eat, BBQs and Pizza nights.

The most relaxing, fun and social environment on the budget traveller scene. A great place to meet and make new friends.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
