We pitched our tent on the lawn at Turtlecove for two days. It is a great little hostel, clean, good shower and lounge and chill out areas really nice. Jean and Maria run it well. The free breakfast is so good to have when you are on a low budget and shows a generosity that many hostels don't these days.... More

Turtlecove is a very good hostel - clean, friendly and well equipped and good value. I stayed in one of the cabins in the garden and it was very comfortable and well equipped. There were 2 shared bathrooms/toilets and I never had to wait to use them. The kitchen is very good and the free breakfast was a nice extra.... More

Turtle Cove is a backpackers which seems to have grown out of someone's house. This has the advantage that it is small and friendly – after a couple of days there, I had said hello to most people and Jean was very helpful at check-in and whenever I needed to speak to her afterwards; but it can also be a...

Its a nice and really clean hostel. They have lots of dvds and the rooms are adequate and comfortable, okay for a one-night-stay. Staff is friendly. Location is okay but a little bit boring. New world is around the corner. They offer breakfast with toas, butter, marmelade, coffee, cornflakes, weetbix and peaches (tea as well). In conclusion a nice place... More

Jeanne was incredibly helpful and helped us plan our activities so that we got the most out of our stay. Really friendly place and the rooms were clean, facilities were good. There's a lot of water pressure in the showers.

I have been back to Turtlecove a couple of times now and rate it as one of the best I have ever stayed in the world. Feel very relaxed here. It feels like a home away from home.
