I stayed for 6 nights in an 8-bed dorm room. Unfortunately, the room which I was given (room 13) was right above the TV lounge which was usually pretty loud. The bunk beds were pretty short - I chose a bottom bunk and couldn't sit up in bed to read. Luckily there was a sofa in the room which was... More

Good place to stay, good staff and friendly. The beds were VERY comfy but the rooms were really small. This is in a REALLY good location, and would definitely stay there again. The bathrooms were decent. We had a tough time using the wireless internet we paid for.

Stayed in a double private room, no ensuite and it was very comfortable. Had a kettle and tv and a decent view out a huge window. Would stay again if on a budget or only here for a short time, we arrived about 8pm and left the next day for a flight home, the room was perfect for that.

Stayed in a spacious 6 bed dorm which even had a sofa in. Unfortunately no lockers in the room though. Close too queenstown gardens and short 3 min walk to town.

A group fo 8 of us were driving around the south island and stayed at Black Sheep in Queenstown. Very friendly staff and a clean neat room. I was pleasantly surprised with the quietness of the rooms at night, and the location is fantastic - close enough to the centre to stumble home at night, but far enough away that... More

I stayed one night here, my room was a 6 bed one, smelled bad though there where big windows and the door. There are not many bathrooms and shower per floor, I had to wait many times. The bed was comfortable, the relax areas are nice. Kitchen wasn´t very clean.

My husband and I stayed at The Black Sheep Backpackers on a recent trip to New Zealand. We had the privileged of staying in both a dorm room and a private double room. Overall this place has many great benefits for the money, the biggest two are the close proximity to the town center and the comfy beds. Also, there... More
