Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand information
Hostelling association
The Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand (often shortened to YHA New Zealand or YHANZ) is a youth hostelling association in New Zealand. As of 2022,[update] it comprises 16 privately owned associate backpacker hostels—8 in the North Island, and 9 in the South Island. All properties are franchise or associate partners.
Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the organisation in 2007, then Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand described YHA NZ as a "standout New Zealand organisation" and "such an iconic feature of holidaying in New Zealand".[1] The YHA hostel in Wellington (now closed) won the Hostelworld "Hoscar" prize for Best Hostel in Oceania in 2007 and 2008.[2] In 2009 the YHA hostel in Rotorua (now closed) won the award.[3]
In November 2021, it was reported that YHA New Zealand would close its remaining 11 managed hostels in December, due largely to COVID-related financial losses,[4] however 20 other individually-owned YHAs will continue to operate as normal. These 20 individually-owned YHAs are as follows: Ahipara, Paihia, Bay of Islands, National Park, Taupō, Waitomo, Whanganui, Whangarei, Arthur's Pass, Golden Bay, Hanmer Springs, Kinloch, Nelson, Picton, Punakaiki, Springfield, Westport.[5] The remaining hostels closed on 15 December 2021. In 2022 YHA sold its five remaining hostels (Auckland, Aoraki Mt Cook, Franz Josef, Queenstown Lakefront and Te Anau) and four hostels previously sold to RPZ in 2021 and leased back to manage, were also on-sold to Gaw Capital Holdings Limited (Rotorua, Wellington, Lake Tekapo and Wanaka). Eight of them rejoined as YHA Associates, only Te Akau not keeping the YHA logo. The lease of Christchurch Hereford St was also taken over by Gaw in 2022.[6][7] The hostels were then refurbished and rebranded Haka House.[8]
