We stayed at the Bug Backpackers for one night on our way through Abel Tasman. It fit our needs - nothing fancy but we met some great people and the shared facilities were well stocked and comfortable.
Nice seperate unit for our family. Great hosts facilities, only complaint would be the shower pressure was all over the place and I suspect the shower trap could do with a clean out, otherwise was great...
