Bungi Backpackers is a funky little hostel with a great atmosphere. The dorm rooms are colourful with comfy beds and central heating. The bathrooms are quite rough, but clean nonetheless, and the kitchen is in the same state. They have cheap laundry facilities, internet access ($6 per hour) including wireless, a common room with a large screen TV and a big video collection plus a large garden area with a barbecue. There is also a great spa pool that is free for guests to use and the friendly staff serve free vegetable soup every night. It is not as central as many of Queenstown’s other hostels, although it is only a 10-minute walk to the town centre.
Price Dorm bed $21-24 ($18-21 BBH) Double/twin room $51 ($48 BBH) Prices are in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
The free soup was definately an attraction.(veg n barley but helps save cash eh?!) There was an outdoor spa , nice big telly n things were basically clean.Me n my girlfriend were given a 3 bed dorm to ourselves and apart from the hil u had to climb to and from it was a good place. only a few mins to the main club/shoppin centre too.

Not a bad hostel, I have bad memories because we were there on a really hot weekend and were boiling hot, sweating and sunburnt, but it was a nice hostel. We were in a room called 'The Bunker' which was nice but small as you can imagine. It's a steep hill from the town centre to get to the hostel, but its not that bad! Nice kitchen, tiny lounge - though there are loads of outdoor areas, hammocks as well! There a couple of computers but there is an internet cafe in the mall in town which has really cheap happy hours.
