About

Welcome to Adventure Q2 Hostel! part of the Adventure Hostels family.

📍Our fantastically central location is right in the heart of Queenstown, meaning you are close to absolutely everything! The Village Green is right across the street to enjoy a drink in the sun. Our modern hostel still retains its warm, cosy and family vibes. Our common areas are compact, but ideal for socialising and engaging with fellow travellers. We are a smaller hostel with a maximum capacity of just 55 beds - the ideal size for fun times and keeping a familial, lively atmosphere.

😴 All our beds are custom-designed timber bunks that feature:
⭐ Comfortable innerspring mattresses
⭐ Reading lights + USB & power charging outlets,
⭐ Privacy curtains
⭐ Secure storage lockers under each bed.
⭐ All linen and towels are provided as standard

🙋‍♀️ Our Live-in team run in-house activities and events most nights a week, to make it easy to meet fellow travellers from around the world.
Check out what link-ups are happening during your planned stay.

🔥We offer loads of other free stuff; such as sports gear, bikes (in the summer), go-pros, and more. In the Winter we offer a Ski-rental service.

👕🫧 We also offer a simple laundry service - whereby we wash, dry and return your clothes giving you more time to make the most of Queenstown!

🔒⛷️🚴 The hostel also has a separate storage/locker room on each floor, and secure bicycle parking and ski & snowboard storage on the ground floor.

🚀 A handy elevator/ lift provides access to all 3 floors. With our communal areas and reception all located on Level 1, Rooms are located on Level 2 & 3

🚗 Due to our super central location, Adventure Q2 does not have parking for guests (or our staff!)

🚌 We are located less than 20 metres from the Intercity bus stop, which is handy for Intercity travellers. If you do require parking, please reach out to our team and we can offer you a handy guide with nearby locations, free and paid.

Common area it’s pretty dirty consistently with a weird smell, same for the kitchen. Q2 in Wānaka is much nicer as it’s newer. Beware of doing laundry here as it may damage or stain your clothes

This was such an amazing hostel! The employees were great and I felt comfortable and safe right away. It was pretty quiet, perfect if you're in need for sleep. The common area and kitchen had everything I needed and more. The rooms were so comfy with curtains on the beds, changing ports, shelf space, and reading lights. Everywhere was super clean. Rooms were cleaned every day. I would've loved to stay even longer, I felt at home!
