Our newly renovated shared house offers premium backpacker accommodation in the heart of Hastings. Rarely do rooms become available at our much loved "Knight and King" however we currently have a beautiful double room available with villa style windows and it's own private entrance and balcony area. It could be said that room 3 is the best room in the house!

Suitable for a working couple. $300 per week with a one month minimum stay - all amenities included.

Inspections welcome!

It’s with a heavy heart we announce the closure of Travellers Lodge and sale of the premises. We’ve had an incredible four and a half years here hosting thousands of international travellers and without this experience we would never have met so many amazing people. Thank you to every single person who has stayed with us over the years, maybe we’ll see some of you again one day ✌️

If you stayed with us, we’d love to hear your favourite memory of your time here in Hastings.

3 of our backpackers - Simon, Lucille and Cassie, picking up some free food from Nourished for Nil after a days work. Saving on money and food wastage is a win-win!

Every evening during our service hour in Hastings we meet and greet numerous faces many whom are local and some from as far away as Chile, Japan, England, Australia etc... These 3 (American, English & French) met while working at an orchard and have become good friends. They came along for the first time last night and they are rapt to have found us and that they were welcome too 😁.
Because we are a FOOD RESCUE organisation we do not require identification or qualification to partake. You help us by taking the food we spend all day collecting. This is our job. We are volunteers. We are passionate about stopping food waste. This is for everyone. With it we help the needy. The hungry. The happy. The grumpy. Those who believe in Santa 🎅. Those who don't... and everyone in between 😍

HELLOOOO FULL HOSTEL! 50 international backpackers staying here with a handful of Kiwi Uni students (if you can't travel, hanging out with some backpackers for the summer is the next best thing right?)

We have guests from Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Latvia, Czech Republic, Italy, Argentina, Thailand, Japan, China, Turkey, Mauritius, Philippines, USA, Australia and NZ :-)

Some are on their third stay with us! Some have been here almost 10 months!

Right now we have wine factory work (both day and night shift), orchard (plum and apple thinning), berry picking and vineyard work. All jobs are SSE approved. Start working as soon as you arrive - it's that easy!

Our Alpha dorm has had a makeover! Just a new light shade needed now, or maybe we embrace the retro pink shade? I’m undecided 🤔
