BUG review
Wave Haven is a laid-back place that's got a great atmosphere a bit like a big shared house. The hostel has a TV lounge with surround sound projector TV; internet access (including Wi-Fi) and a fully-equipped kitchen with an espresso machine. There is a big garden with a sauna and even a glow worm walking trail. The hostel is in a state of ongoing maintenance but it has clean and comfortable rooms. It is near the beach about 16km south of New Plymouth and it's a popular spot for surfers.
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.
