Taupo Urban Retreat Backpackers
Welcome to Taupo Urban Retreat — your home away from home! Free, unlimited WiFi, comfy beds and hot, high-pressure showers are a given here. With arguably the best location in Taupo we are just a couple of streets away from the busiest bars and restaurants and the shores of the stunning Great Lake Taupo — yet far enough away to get a good night’s sleep. Not to mention we are only minutes away from the bus stop and supermarkets and there is plenty of free off-street parking available.
We have a variety of different options from single rooms mixed dorm rooms to en-suite private rooms, so we cater for every type of traveler.
