we stayed at this hostel for 1 night as we drove from sydeny and were making our way to brsibane in a camper van. The rooms were nice, clean and tidy. Maybe that was because of the people who were staying in the hotel. The kitchen was nice and great reception area. Free parking plus point. The reception booked our... More

Me and my boyfriend only intended to stay at this hostel for 1 night but ended up staying for 2 weeks! Every single part of this hostel is absolutely fantastic, the staff, facilites, and rooms. Literally dont have a bad word to say! The staff literally couldnt do enough for you. They were constantly organising things for the backpackers to... More

I'm willing to accept that my stay may not have been typical. I was there for only for one night, and didn't get a good chance to take in the vibe of the place. The good stuff :-) The staff were seriously helpful. The courtesy call asking if I could find the place was very welcome, and lots of chat... More

Me and my boyfriend took the greyhound bus up the East Coast of Australia and randomly decided to stop in Yamba for a couple of night- apparently had nice beaches- ended up extending our trip to 5 nights because their was so much to do and we were having so much fun. I managed to pick up a stomach bug... More

Great little town with a great hostel full of nice, friendly, smiling people. When I was there it wasn't too full and instead of cramming everyone that was there into one room it seemed they purposely gave everyone their own, it was great! Food is excellent as well, especially the breakfast. It is a hostel where they go out of... More

Excellent hostel: great staff, very nice rooms, tidy, etc. etc. When we arrived in this hostel we only wanted to book for 1 night and leave a.s.a.p., 3 nights later it was a pity to leave. I will definitely come back to this place. This is a hostel as all hostels should be: this place will make you feel at... More

Yamba Yha really makes the most of a little beach town! The staff were great and seemed to have enthusiasm for everything! Make sure you make the most of the activities there, we had an amazing time, going out surfing (even if your a begginer youll be helped along) and definately do the world famous $10 tour! The hostel itself... More

We were staying elsewhere in Yamba but latish in the evening were in need of food and on the off chance asked if food was still available. Although the restaurant was closed, Shane produced the most outstanding sushi and we ate and chatted with the family for sometime. All the youngsters who were staying there seemed very happy and the... More

Wondered in slightly dazed after a 10-hour train ride from Sydney but was greeted like a long-lost friend by Shane, the all-Aussie whirlwind of activity at the centre of this hostel. Feeling shattered, I paid around 70 bucks for own room, which was better than what you'd find at most budget hotels with TV, spacious en-suite, and double bed. Caught... More
