Queenstown is easier when you're staying in the middle of it
One of the best things about staying at Absoloot is how simple it makes exploring Queenstown. Step outside and you're already in the town centre, with Lake Whakatipu, restaurants, bars, shops, activities, public & activity transport connections, and plenty of Queenstown's everyday essentials close at hand.
For many travellers, that means you can enjoy Queenstown without needing a rental car for every part of your trip. Walking around town can save you the hassle of finding a park, paying for parking and adding fuel and rental costs to your budget - and you can head out for the day, pop back to the hostel when you need to, then wander straight into town again when you're ready for round two.
Are you bringing a car? No problem! You can drive right to our front door to load/unload your luggage before sorting out parking for your stay. We've also put together practical local information to help you understand your parking options and decide whether having a car in Queenstown makes sense for your trip.

The hostel essentials, done properly
You don't need a never-ending list of facilities to have a great hostel stay - you need the right ones to work well. At Absoloot, we've focused on creating clean, practical and functional spaces that give travellers what they actually need during their time in Queenstown.
That means a well-equipped and modern guest kitchen, comfortable communal spaces, fast unlimited fibre Wi-Fi, and the everyday facilities that make life on the road that little bit easier. Nothing complicated - just the hostel essentials, done properly.
A kitchen you'll actually want to use
Eating your way around Queenstown is all part of the fun, but eating out for every meal can quickly add up. Our well-equipped guest kitchen gives you the freedom to cook for yourself, keep food during your stay and share a meal with other travellers when you feel like it, all while over-looking Lake Whakatipu and The Remarkables.
Fast, unlimited high-speed fibre Wi-Fi
Whether you're planning tomorrow's adventures, catching up with home, sorting some work or winding down with your favourite show, you'll have access to fast, unlimited fibre Wi-Fi throughout your stay. Enjoy the same access from your room or our communal areas, with easy QR code logins located on every level and stable networking so you don't miss a thing.
Space to relax and connect
Our communal spaces give you somewhere comfortable to take a break from exploring - whether you're swapping stories with other travellers, planning what's next or simply putting your feet up for a while. Our guest kitchen, 24hr guest lounge, and reception link-up lounge space provide ample space to connect or unwind.
Practical traveller facilities
You'll also get access to our 24-hour communal bathroom with free shower gel and towels, secure luggage storage on check-in and check-out days, secure key-card accessible ski/snowboard/bike storage for keeping your adventure gear sorted, our self-service laundromat right next door, tour & activity booking services at reception, plus handy extras and perks available from our friendly team to make life on the road that little bit easier.
