COVID-19 - Guest Update and Information

Since Tourism Adventure Group (Base Backpackers, Nomads and United hostels) first started, we've been led by one key objective; make sure our guests are creating lifelong memories in a safe and clean environment. This is what we'll continue to strive towards despite the current COVID-19 pandemic and want you to be aware this mantra is at the forefront of all our decisions.

We know that for many of you, the plans to travel have been long in the works and your trip of a lifetime may have taken a sharp turn since this current crisis reared its head. We are constantly monitoring the National and Local Health agencies advice, advice from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as continuing to follow the guidance of government health officials. From this advice we have implemented a number of strategies that we believe can take away as much stress from your stay with us as possible. We are still open and here to help you experience this amazing part of the world.

Domestic travel - arrival prior to 15th March
If guests are travelling domestically there is currently no requirement for them to self-isolate, meaning you can be accommodated in normal dorm rooms, however we will be taking the appropriate steps to reduce the number of people staying in each dorm as best practice.

International arrivals from 15th March
For international arrivals into Australia and New Zealand after the 15th March, you will be asked to self-isolate for 14 days by the New Zealand or Australian Government. You will need to contact the property in advance if you are arriving from an international flight and have not yet satisfied the self isolation protocols and the property will pass on necessary information for you.

If you have any questions about your upcoming booking please contact us via email and one of our team will be in contact, please keep in mind that our teams are dealing with a large volume of enquiries at the moment but they will be in touch as soon as possible. If you have booked through a travel agent, please contact them directly for advice regarding your options so that they can assist you with your booking.

We are thinking of all the people that have been affected by this event and have incredible appreciation for our healthcare workers and governments around the world who are taking unprecedented steps to protect our global community.
