Nomads Hostels in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji all have some Mad deals this Friday the 8th August.

Why? Well, it’s the 8th day of the 8th month of the 8th year so a very good excuse to have an 8 themed day.

Contact the Nomads Hostel you want to stay at for details of their “8 deals”.

Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel & Bar in Auckland will be having an $8 breakfast (that’s 8 items for 8 dollars), and that will be at 8am in The Fat Camel Backpackers Bar.

At 8pm we’ll be selling jugs of beer for just $8 for the whole hour! And to keep in with the theme of the day, if you’re wearing good old 80’s fashion (and have big 80’s hair) you’ll be in good company as we play all the great hits of the 80’s.

Call or email Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel in Auckland (0800 220 198) for details of their 08.08.08 accommodation and Mad travel deals, or contact any of the other Nomads Hostels to find out what they’ll be getting up to this Friday!
