Wanderpass FAQs

Wanderpass is a pre-paid block of nights (10, 20 or 30) that you can use at any Drifter property across Australia and New Zealand. You lock in your rate up front, then use your nights whenever and wherever suits your trip.

With a normal booking, you pick dates and a property up front and pay the rate at the time. With Wanderpass, you pay once for a block of nights at a locked-in rate, then decide where and when to use them as you go, without re-booking or re-paying each time.

No. Your nights can be used across any combination of Drifter properties in Australia and New Zealand, in any order.

Wanderpass availability is for large dorm rooms only. When you log in to redeem your nights, you’ll see whichever dorm categories are available for your dates, including Female Ensuite Dorm options where they’re on offer at that property.

Wanderpass nights apply to large dorm rooms only, and there’s no stated option to upgrade to a private room using pass nights. [Note: if there’s actually a pay-the-difference upgrade path available at check-in, that’s not currently documented in the T&Cs; worth confirming and adding if so, since guests will ask.

Both pass types come in 10, 20 or 30 nights. The per-night rate improves the more nights you buy.

There isn’t a fixed calendar of blackout dates. There are a few things that can affect availability: Beds may not be available at certain times due to seasonality and occupancy, even though your rate is locked in. Length-of-stay restrictions may apply at some locations during peak times.

The All Year Round pass is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. The Value pass can only be used from 1 April to 31 August inclusive. Your pass is only valid for the specific period you purchased, and unused nights are forfeited once that period ends
