This place is ok to stay in the rooms are like self contained which can be a bit of a problem when you all need in to the one shower in the morning. The tv room is a bit basic and doesn\'t actually have tv but they do have a good selection of films. The location is the best part about it right on the water front.

was ok but had to move rooms even though i had booked 2 nights as they were full. Good offer with 2 for 1 drinks in a near by bar. Very helpful in arranging my skydive.

We have enjoyed the stay in Bumbles very much. Fiona, the staff at reception, has been the nicest and most helpful hostel staff I've met so far in NZ. Thanks so much for the advice and help. I do suggest one thing, though. Do put ladders on the bunk beds for vertically challenged people like me. :)
