Ponsonby Backpackers

The Ponsonby Backpackers Hostel is just off Ponsonby Road and is a is a converted 19th Century Villa located on a lovely tree lined road. They are a small hostel (30 beds) but very friendly and relaxed. Set on Franlin Road which runs down to Victoria Park, they are only minutes from the city. Their services are a full equipped kitchen, internet service, off-street parking and also close to a supermarket.

They offer, single, double, twin, share rooms as well as a tent site and there is a fully equipped kitchen.

Singles from $39.00

You could try Ponsonby backpackers - Franklin Road. You can try asking for a long term rate.
