About Downtown Wellington Backpackers
Situated directly opposite the railway station Downtown Backpackers is ideally located, being the closest hostel to trains, buses and the inter island ferry, and is only a few minutes walk to Parliament, the new stadium, the city area and Te Papa, Wellington's fabulous Museum of New Zealand.
Things To Do
Downtown Backpackers is located in Wellingtons historic Art Deco Waterloo Hotel, a former high class hotel which was chosen for the Queen's 1953 Coronation Tour.
This hotel was one of the top hotels in the southern hemisphere in its day. It is a classic example of the podium design of Art Deco architecture and is listed as historically significant by both the Historic Places Trust and the Wellington City Council.
We want Wellington to be a highlight of your NZ experience and we have lots of information to help you to plan your stay.
Finalist in the NZ Tourism Awards for 1999, 2000 and 2001.
How To get There
The carved Maori fireplace which is installed in our house bar is a significant piece of Maori history. We believe that it was carved by Wero who was a carver in the Ngati Tarawhai style, from the Rotorua area, around the 1880s. It is an example of a Maori carving which has been carved for Europeans. The spiral motif which appears in the carving is similar to `Takarangi` motif. The word means to feel faint and giddy, or to reel or stagger, which might be the effect that an observer should feel when looking at the finished work. This fireplace is a real treasure and is a must see.
