Backpackers youth hostels blog

This weekend is shaping up to be the biggest yet at Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel and Bar. It  all begins on Friday night when the youth hostel says goodbye to Rebecca, who has been The Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel reception supervisor for the last year, but who worked here for 3 years before that!!

All the backpackers and the hostel staff wish you all the best in whatever you do Rebecca!

We’ll also be saying goodbye to Emz from Magic who’s been coming in to see The Fat Camel hostel staff for the last 2 years.

Then it’s Saturday and the much anticipated game between The All Blacks and The Wallabies at Eden Park in Auckland. Although we’ve sold all of our tickets to go and watch the game in person, we will still be showing the Big Game on the Big Screen in our Auckland Backpackers Bar!

When the game is over we’re hoping we’ll be celebrating a Kiwi win at our after-party, but even if we lose we’re going to party like there’s no tomorrow anyway!

On Sunday we’ll be opening our central Auckland bar a little earlier than usual - midday! And then from 2pm we’ll have live music from Zoh Zoh, a traditional African drumming and dance band. This is sure to be an afternoon never to be forgotten, so make sure you come along to experience it!

Don’t worry, the rest of this week still has all the usual activities happening in the bar and Happy Hour every night between 5pm and 7pm!

Email Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel for more details.

2 DJ’s tonight at Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel and Bar! No cover charge, just a great atmosphere and our usual great drink specials!

Yes it’s true, there really is so much going on at The Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel and Bar that it’s hard to keep up with it all.
