“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Location: Just out side of town. Around 10mins walk to supermart and eateries. 5 more mins and you will find yooueself at the beach.

Set Up: Parking is no problem. TV and Kitchen area is well kept. Has lots of sitting space out doors. Toilets are clean. Locker in the room, bring your own lock. Only a small fan in the room so rather warm during my visit in summer.

“Excellent vibe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

This hostel is one of the best I stayed in in Australia. It had a really chilled and relaxed atmosphere, was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked about a week ahead here as knew that it was one of the best places to stay at that end of the Gt Ocean Rd. Highly recommended. We also organised a brilliant mornings surf lesson through these guys.

“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

Great hostel, I stayed with my girlfriend in a private room with shared toilet. It was spotless clean, excellent bed and good sleep quality. Good kitchen with all you need. 7 min walking from the town center. Good service, we were very well received and would definitely come back.
