Fat Cod Backpackers

Nestled in the heart of Marlborough, where lush greenery meets the clear blue sky, stands Fat Cod Backpackers - a vibrant sanctuary for travelers seeking authentic New Zealand experiences. Established with a vision to provide comfortable, affordable accommodations that reflect our unique culture, we've been welcoming backpackers from around the globe since [insert founding date if known, or leave it out and mention 'over two decades' if not]. Stepping into Fat Cod Backpackers is like stepping into a warm, inviting living room filled with stories of travelers past. Our cozy dormitories and private rooms offer a restful retreat after a day of adventure, complete with heating for those chilly evenings and free WiFi to keep you connected with the world beyond. For smokers, we've thoughtfully designated an outdoor area where you can unwind and share stories under the stars. Our property is more than just a place to rest your head; it's a hub for making connections, sharing experiences, and creating lasting memories. Cook up a storm in our communal kitchen or gather around the BBQ facilities for a classic Kiwi barbecue. Fuel up on essentials at our on-site mini-market, open 24/7 to cater to your every need. But Fat Cod Backpackers isn't just about what we offer; it's about who we are. We're a family, a community, united by a passion for adventure and the spirit of travel. Whether you're setting off on your first backpacking trip or have logged countless miles, you'll find a home here where you can rest, recharge, and embark on new adventures together. So come join us in Marlborough, make some unforgettable memories, and create your own Fat Cod story. Aroha nui (love and care) from all of us!
