Hi Jan Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately you cant "catch" bed bugs this way. If they were in your luggage AND your bed, you brought them with you. We have a very comprehensive program in place to deal with this issue, as does any reputable accommodation place. Most places spend thousands of dollars a year behind the scenes on this.... More

Planned to stay in tas for 2 weeks. Found a job easily and ended up there for 3 months. Stayed in one of the other hostels for a couple of nights but I prefer a place with hot water and more than 6 people. The whole frog team including baloo the dog are extremely friendly and more than happy to... More

The staff were friendly enough however. I paid $45 AUD a night for a small single room. The biggest drawback with the place is that it was extremely noisy. Its unrealistic to... More
