BUG review
This hostel is above a good pub in the town centre. It has recently been renovated and offers a good standard of accommodation. Dorms have new made-up beds in metal bunks (and some single beds), and the bathrooms are clean and bright. The kitchen is small with limited facilities, but it is kept clean by the friendly owners. They offer free breakfast, internet access, and drink vouchers for the bar/café downstairs.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

Fun little backpackers, very centrally located. Friendly staff make you feel welcome and are glad to help you whenever they can. Clean facilities, decent sized kitchen and living area and heaps of artwork add to the charm of this newly renovated place.

Nice place, weather was good, had a fun night their with the people their. Watched DVD's, played pool, and drank beer's and got a cheap ride to Christchurch. Free breakfast was a treat, good to wake up and not worry about going to the shops!
