Bumbles is tucked nicely a few walkaway from the citycentre and really really close to the beautiful Lake Wakatipu. You could sip your coffee at the lounge and have your fill of the lake. ..idyllic!! The room and kitchen was clean, the tv room was cozy and lively. Good friendly atmosphere overall. More

Comfortable rooms, good communal areas and excellent rates. The staff are very friendly and helpful and if you book activities through them you get free internet! Recommend. More

Nice little walk from the town centre, but not too far, very polite and friendly staff, helped me with some activities that I wanted to do whilst staying there, the room had a small balcony that overlooked the lake, the room was nice enough, small kitchen and basic shower room/toilet area.

We chose this backpackers because of the lakeside location so were disappointed to discover a busy road between us and the lake. The place is old and dumpy with poor amenities. The communal eating area is a narrow room with limited kitchenware and we had to approach staff to rustle up some coffee cups. (They gave us new ones.) We... More

Nice lounge with lake views although it was packed to the rafters in the evening and we couldn't find a place to sit. Kitchen smallish. In the double room, we had to walk thru the dorm to get to the bathroom. Kitchen did not officially open until 7:30 a.m. and we had to rustle up someone on staff, who arrived... More
