About us

We reinvest net proceeds into support programmes in Auckland and the Waikato. Because strengthening communities is what we do including the worldwide-wanderer community! Our rich 150 year New Zealand history reflects a spirit of manaakitanga or caring for others.

So each time you stay at the Auckland YMCA Hostel or City Lodge, you’re helping Kiwi kids experience a whole new world. By contributing to valued programmes like Family Camp, Raise Up and Fee Assistance for after-school care. We believe that everyone should have access to our services, no matter what.Including affordable accommodation in Auckland. 

So please book with us, as our backpacker accommodation genuinely gives back.
