BUG review
Sheltered Waters is the biggest backpackers in Russell, with all of 16 beds. It’s set in a nice house with a front patio and a big backyard with lots of lush flora. There’s a spa pool, trampoline and a barbecue in the back courtyard, as well as an aviary and a cat prowling around. The living room has a homely, lived-in feel, with portraits and family photos, and there are very good kitchen facilities. The dorm room itself seemed a bit on the crowded side with 10 beds, but the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting.

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.
