Save Opoutere YHA Hostel

Save Opoutere YHA Hostel Save the Opoutere YHA hostel from closure. This much loved place is under imminent threat of permanent closure. Please help us to take action.

We are a group of users and members of the YHA which would like to see it remain open to everybody. A decision has been made by the YHA that the Opoutere YHA will be permanently closed in Easter 2018. We are taking action to ensure proper consultation takes place with all the members and other interested parties. Opoutere YHA is not just another hostel, it is a special place in the hearts of both

domestic and international visitors, who are entranced by this unique and lovely ecotourism shared, affordable accommodation. Please like and share this page to help us show the Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand how much this place means to us and that shutting down this beautiful place without proper consultation with the members and other users is not acceptable. We want to discuss this and come up with alternative solutions. Excerpt from Opoutere YHA visitor book:

Opoutere in Winter (Male, NZ returnee)

‘From the summit you can see,
Across the ocean to eternity
‘My God’, you think ‘what’ll become of me
When I must leave Opoutere?’
The green forest, like glove on hand
Or a blanket o’er the rolling land
Lies breathing by the wave-washed sands
Forget y’ troubles schemes and plans
They matter little at Opoutere
I love the quest and Solitude
Where the tuis sing and the green hills brood,
Where T.V. and rat-race dare not intrude
Upon the flowing peace of Opoutere.’
