The place is nice, clean, neat, our double room was was good. We had hot water bottles to keep us warm. But the atmosphere was odd: nobody was talking to the point that you were almost thinking you would disturb if you stroke a conversation - that's not the typical backpacker, right? And as we are a couple, we were... More

This hostel proves that you dont need to be massive, ultra modern or in a buzzing neighbourhood to be awesome - just provide all the home comforts coupled with friendly hosting and the unique atmosphere that comes from being full of hikers. The dorm was clean, a bit cold but hot water bottles are provided, comfortable beds and (being remote)... More

This backpackers is great! It is located but a short walk from the main wharf (and the supermarket and pub). It is super cozy, but also roomy. There are wood stoves inside and also on the deck, great for a cool rainy day, or just winding down at night. There is a BBQ and a big picnic table outside. The... More

Had a cosy stay in Bunker's Backpackers for a night prior to 10 days on the North West Circuit. We were met on arrival by Tara who showed us our room and the guest facilities. Great lounge complete with library. Cosy fire, spacious communal dining table. Fantastic outdoor deck. We'll definately be back when we embark on our next tramp.

While small, we found Bunkers to be very comfortable for a 3 night stay. Everyone seemed to manage around each other just fine.

We stayed in a double room in bunkers during our stay on Stewart island. The island itself was really cool and the locals from Oban were incredibly friendly. Liz and Keith were great people and cool to talk to. The hostel itself is pretty awesome. It's a little small but this really wasn't a problem at all. If anything it... More

Because everything else was full or very expensive, we decided to go to Bunkers Backpackers. The double room is very small. The house itself was very crowded. But it was clean and the owners are friendly. It is a hostel. So for a hostel it's very good. And Stewart Island is a must see in NZ!! The location is very... More

I stayed at the Bunker backpackers with my two teenage daughters. It is an old character house that has been beautifully renovated into a backpackers. It is a few hundred metres from the ferry terminal so very central. The owner was really friendly and happy to advise on what to do. It is a small hostel. Nice rooms. Not many... More

I stayed in a dorm room and a double room during my stay at this backpackers. The dorm was ok, wasnt overly fussed about the storage where you placed your stuff in a vertical cupboard (not great if you got one of the 2 top cupboards) but overall the dorm was quite roomy in comparison to some i have stayed...
