We recently stayed for two nights at this hostel in a double room. In terms of positives, I can’t fault it on cleanliness as the room, bathrooms, kitchen and lounge areas where exceptionally clean. The kitchen was also very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans etc. However, the whole hostel had the feel of a prison or a... More

Hi. Firstly, allow me to introduce my wife (Rebecca) and myself (Tony) who manage this hostel. As far as we can tell, we are the only hostel in the world 100% owned by a volunteer Surf Life Saving Club (in our case, the Port Campbell Surf Life Saving Club), which has been the way it is since the PCSLC first...

Stayed in this hostel for 1 night in January and to be honest I was glad we weren't staying a second. Firstly the hostel is ok, clean, spacious rooms, plenty of showers and a large kitchen but the internet is pricey, in fact everything in the area is pricey because of limited competition, also there is limited things to do...

G’day Pcuff1980, Tony here. Along with my wife Rebecca, I manage the hostel. Firstly, thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts to paper – appreciated. You’ve hit a few of the hostel’s highlights with comments about how clean things are, it is spacious (etc, etc), and perhaps what some perceive to be a low-light, about our ‘net prices.... More

We stayed in a double room, room, showers etc and kitchen facilities are very new and clean. The double room is only sparely furnished (bed, two chairs and a lamp) but very clean and freshly renovated. Good value for money! More

Hi - yep, our rooms are clean, simple and basic. We pride ourselves on being among the cleanest hostels in Australasia (we're consistently rated as either the cleanest backpackers hostel in Australasia, or among the top three, on another very popular on-line site frequented by thousands of backpackers) and offering what we feel are very, very well valued amenities to...

A very sparklingly clean and eco friendly hostel, with super comfy beds and lots of space in the rooms. Very freindly staff, nice communal areas. Nice vibe for a solo traveller and easy to meet others. The only thing they could of done with was somewhere to lock up my bicycle, but then I imagine not many people cycle the... More

Thank you for the review! Not really sure I can add anything to it - you have hit all the highlights! (And, you are spot on about our summer time hours - we run our reception a lot longer than in the depths of winter time. We normally remain either at the reception area, or lurking somewhere around the hostel... More

Port Campbell hostel located in the one of the hottest spot along the great ocean road. So everything is expensive. No breakfast, even no table in the room, just a double bed, only for your basic needs. The suit equipment is clean and new. More

G'day there TA reviewer. "Clean and basically equipped" kind'a sums up exactly what our hostel is all about... (in fact, based on the reviews and rankings drawn from "the world's number 1 hostel booking site" (and I won't mention the name of that site here, but I suspect you will be able to guess which site I mean), we consistently...

We stayed here in early Nov while doing the GOR. Decided that we must see the 12 Apostles at sunset (gorgeous and not crowded if you hang around a little longer) so Port Campbell was the place we wanted to stay at. We found the place to be new, very clean and professionally managed. The common areas are all on... More

This hostel is in a fantastic location and you can hear the waves at night. There is so much to see along the coast so I would recommend staying at least a few nights so that you get to see the sunset and the sunrise - the 12 Apostles and the Bays of Martyrs and Islands. The hostel is super... More
