BUG review
This bright yellow and green hostel has a great beachfront location. It also has a good amount of character, but unfortunately it could be better maintained. Facilities are basic, but there is a spa pool and a barbecue and a gorgeous view from the upstairs veranda. The communal kitchen is relatively clean, though the bathrooms could use some work. It has a nice atmosphere and management/staff are friendly.
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.

This place was bit of a find, great location right on the beach,with great views. Located near Pancake rocks with an absolutley fantastic ride from Hokitika.
Easy walking distance to the local Tavern where good meals are available as well as freindly helpful locals.
Cooking facilities for those who must are more than adequate.
Internet facilities available.
No TV which we saw as a positive
Inexpensive i thought.
