Multi-share accommodation is a popular style of travel in New Zealand and Australia, and it’s how you’ll spend most of your nights on this trip. This typically means sharing a room with 4–8 fellow travellers. Rooms are generally split by gender, and most will have shared bathroom facilities.



When staying in multi-share accommodation, we’re unable to take any rooming requests.



Accommodation will vary throughout your journey — some stops may not provide towels or soap, so we recommend bringing your own. Bathroom and shower facilities are shared and are rarely en-suite.



If you prefer private accommodation, you may want to explore our tours in the Classic Travel Style.
