Welcome to this quick virtual tour of facilities of the Extreme Backpackers in Turangi. This photo shows the entrance to the reception, which is open between the hours of 8:00am and 9:00pm. Just to the right is a car park for guests, and the alternative evening entrance.

To the left is a shot of our large and spacious lounge, complete with a large open fire. There is a TV and a VCR just in case the weather closes in or you just fancy a break from anything liable to raise your heartbeat.

The dining area has plenty of seating for those needing to stock up on additional carbs, as well as some more relaxed seating for those seeking refuge from the TV. A computer is available for Internet access, a hi-fi for some tunes, and an assortment of board games, cards and puzzles.

There is a roomy kitchen with plenty of work surfaces, hobs and sinks. Lots of crockery, cutlery, pans and kitchen utensils are available. Also there's a microwave for quick snacks, fridges, storage, as well as free tea and coffee facilities.

The last communal area is the enclosed central courtyard. Most of the rooms look out upon this grassed area which has a barbecue area along with tables and chairs. For anyone who wants to catch a few rays while they doze, there are also hammocks. A laundry is also available on one side of the courtyard.

Rooms

The dormitory rooms are the cheapest option, and are best for groups of friends, or individuals. We have dormitories that can sleep 4 or 8 people with 2 and 4 sets of bunks respectively.

Twins are great for The Odd Couple, Just Good Friends, or if you just dislike fighting over the duvet. There are also doubles for the couples, and doubles with bunks for the families.
There are separate facilities for gents and ladies, but you can save yourself the early morning dash by taking an en-suite room.

All rooms have heating, and come with bedding, except for the dormitories where bedding is available for a small charge should you require it. Prices given here are standard rates, and there are also discounts for BBH members.
