I only stayed in this hostel for one night with my sister while travelling up the East Coast. It has a lovely pool to hang out by and some very good common areas to hang out in. The receptionist was very friendly and showed us round. The dorm room was a tad cramped so not much room for your bags... More

I stayed here for 2 nights after hearing a few good things about it, but I honestly felt that it wasn't all that great. To give it its credit, the beds were very comfy and the bathrooms were new and very clean. There was also a nice little verandah with couches which was a really nice place to sit and... More

Port Macquarie backpackers has a very friendly atmosphere. There is a pickp service from the greyhound terminal, even though the walk is only short, after a long journey with a big back, this is very helpful. The hostel itself is a converted house, with a pool and relaxing balcony area. Like many hostels, port Macquarie backpackers couldn't benefit from some... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Port Macqarie Backpackers! Staff was very friendly and helpful and picked me up from the bus stop without me even asking them to. The room was bright and colourful with a ceiling fan which was great on a 35 degree day. I met some really nice people there and ended up extended my stay... More

Our stay at Port Macquarie Backbackers got off to a great start with a surprise pick up from the bus by the owner Tony. He gave us a rundown of the area on the 5 min drive to the hostel. Check in was quick and easy and he showed us round the hostel with clear rules for food labelling, use... More

The hostel itself was very well looked after and extremely clean which was brilliant. The bedrooms looked exactly like on the brochure which tony said I extremely important... More

This was our first hostel in Australia so we weren't sure what to expect. It was the cheapest hostel of our trip but it was one of the better ones, and I would say that what we paid was about the right price for what we got. We had checked in advance that we would be able to park and... More

We only stopped in Port Macquarie for a night and are glad we did. There is much to do if you feel like it, the hostel's location is not bad. Right at an intersection and about 7 minutes to walk to the city centre. The owner Tony picked us up from the Greyhound. Our 6 bed dorm was clean and... More

Small cottage style house with cramped rooms. No lockers. Old and dated. Kitchen dirty. Unusual alcohol rule- everything allowed except goon! Had heard good things about the owner Tony but we did not find him friendly at all. Small pool area. The town itself-not much to see or do. Koala sanctuary was nice but a long walk away. Would have... More
