Located in Golden and within 8.9 km of Golden Golf & Country Club, Dreamcatcher Hostel features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. 17 km from Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre, the property features a ski pass sales point. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Great value for a price 10x lower than any hotel in the area. That's probably the best hostel I've been to. It's clean, people are friendly, you have all the amenities you need. People are actually socialising together in a living room, which also looks great. There is A/C in the room, the beds have curtains with them, the bathrooms are clean and spacious and there are quite a bit of them.

Gorgeous hostel, very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. Cute little guest garden where we sat and listened to a concert being hosted next door. Great community. Made me want to move in! I was really sad I only booked one night. Lots of interesting things to do around the place, amazing local trails, restaurants and a local museum. Highly recommend a visit to Cumberland and this hostel, it was one of my trip highlights.

Located 13.2 km from downtown, UBC's Okanagan Campus offers free WiFi.

There are air-conditioned student rooms, suites and apartments with private bathrooms, free WiFi, basic kitchens, and common lounges. Everything! Check in process was so professional! Room was spotless clean and spacious. We took a 1 bedroom apartment with living room and kitchenette. The campus itself is very beautiful, located in Okanagon Valley. It was a great value of money that we paid. Our main purpose to take this accommodation was to show our high school daughter how the university dorms are. We found our stay very helpful.
