Racecourse Backpackers Hostel - our backpackers building was formerly horse stables during the 1960s in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Situated just about 10 minutes drive to the Christchurch Airport.

Racecourse Backpackers Hostel was opened in the early 2000s with the goal of creating a home away from home like haven for our guests! Operated by knowledgeable staff with a foundation in the real estate industry that is positive, professional and solution-driven to provide the very best service. Our staff are licensed agents and property managers (Licensed under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008) in the Real Estate industry.

Situated between Racecourse Road and Epsom Road, opposite Riccarton Park. The main building was built with classic solid triple bricks double storey structure. The backpacker/motel styled units were constructed using contemporary building materials, formerly horse stables. Recently refurbished without losing the charm of the buildings.

We have private and dorm rooms available, at affordable prices, along with an extensive range of shared facilities and services. Free Wireless Broadband Internet access available with your own compatible laptop/mobile.
