Backpackers Hostel Christchurch

If you choose to stay at this Christchurch backpacker hostel on the first day of your arrival into New Zealand, the owner, Sandy, will graciously offer a mint pineapple herb that she grows in her garden to help you overcome jet lag. I was so exhausted when Sandy suggested this herb to make tea that I simply ate it “as is” and the remedy worked! She also mentioned that mint pineapple is known to help combat flu and cold symptoms.

This was a clear clue that Frauenreisehaus Womens BBH Backpackers Hostel Christchurch offers a little something special in backpackers’ accommodation, but the perks are for women only. The owner’s friendly hospitality attitude pervades. She strives to maintain a calming, holistic healing effect through the use of herbs and more at this clean, quiet old building located a convenient five-minute walk away from the city center.

Sandy uses rose quartz as a control element to induce a sense of calm at Frauenreisehaus Womens Hostel. The owner tells of a time when she removed the stones for a few days and noticed the guests became “loud and squirrelly.” She now recommends placing the gem, which is reputed to have healing properties that open the 4th (heart) chakra, next to your bed for a sound night’s sleep. Maybe there’s something to that.

Rose quartz is thought to be the most powerful gem in healing affairs of the heart, making it receptive to both giving and receiving love. It purportedly allows you to communicate with your internal spirit guides, deal with a “broken heart,” and overcome negative influences. The stone is also supposed to aid in releasing childhood trauma, neglect, lack of love, and low self esteem.

Sandy also employs herbs for holistic benefit. A beautiful flower and herb garden has fresh spring water for drinking. The garden serves to restore the spirit and is the perfect spot for relaxing dinners al fresco. It also supplies some of the fresh and dried herbs found inside the large, well equipped kitchen of this women’s hostel.

The kitchen includes every appliance imaginable – even a bread machine! – and is stocked with lots of herbs, spices, tea, coffee, all free for the taking. Other Frauenreisehaus Womens Hostel facilities include a big TV in a lounge with tons of videos, large music collection, and a multi-lingual library.

On our stay, Sandy was nice enough to give free storage space to my daughter for extra unneeded equipment she had brought during the length of her NZ visit in exhange for a promise to stay at Frauenreisehaus Womens Hostel for a couple of days when she returned.
