Southern Laughter Backpackers

If you want a really great Backpackers, Southern Laughter is the place to go, Clean, good amenities in all area of the hostel, great parking too, plenty of space there re parking, Friendly helpful staff, Great location to towns venues, If you're in the Queenstown Marathon, for example, it is only a 4 min trot down to catch the race bus, and from the race finish line, short walk indeed. Medical centre across the road as is a firestation next to it, 6 min walk to the bulk of shops, tours, boats buses and many other type tours, Economical, I love to be on my own in a room, so I had a double room to myself for only $285 for total of 3 nights. Clean rooms comfortable beds, Quiet for sleeping, good views, staff will do their up most to work out great deals for you, accom with prursuits you want to see do, and tours. they will organsise for you, and take out alot of that headache for you. Ring Toby and Jim, You WONT REGRET IT. 'Good security' too, I like that. Great laundry, living rooms to relax, DVDs, with screen,friendly folk, good clean kitchens, bathroom showers and ablutions, I dint SEE a Games room or BBQ (Though I love BBQs, I just didnt have time to look for one, either, but I 'heard', that during covid lockdown, they 'even converted an area', so people could exercise workout with a mini gym room, Now How Good is that? I think that is GREAT! normally 2 kitchens living rooms, at least in normal non covid times, I am a pretty choosy person, and have travelled around NZ for marathons, so I have stayed many backpackers, Including others in Queenstown, which I had trouble getting a booking back to others, but at Southern Laughter for me was HOME AWAY FROM HOME and I have re booked again for yet another year, Great team working there. I normally travelled solo, but this year I managed to get my friend Shirley there, and When she saw why I recomended it to her, She was delighted, she thanked me for telling her to come to Southern Laughter, she too would definitely re book to stay there, oh yes and we both enjoyed the jokes they had painted around the place on the outside walls and posters of jokes inside, She was laughing at club today and shared the jokes with her Hubby at home,and to other club members at running today. Oh if I say below, NOT SURE its because the question didnt apply to myself, or I just didnt have time to pursue that answer to any particular question,at the time I was there for a marathon, I didnt take photos as my little phome camera wouldnt do justice for such thing. otherwise I would have. maybe next year I will take some, and ask someone to show me how to put them in this survey.
