Milford Sound Backpacker Accommodation Options

A hiker stands on a peak looking over the Milford Sound on a day walk from Milford Sound Lodge.

Milford Sound Lodge no longer offers backpacker accommodation.

For many years, Milford Sound Lodge offered dormitory-style accommodation and tent sites. In 2019, the lodge underwent a major renovation and we closed our dorm rooms to make way for a completely renovated restaurant and lounge area as well as a stunning collection of luxury chalets.


While you no longer have the option of staying in backpacker accommodation at the lodge, you can choose to stay in our tranquil campervan site instead or upgrade to a night in a chalet.
