Travellers' Choice
Ozzie Pozzie is Port Macquarie’s most highly recommended resort youth hostel by "Lonely Planet" and "Lets-Go" and Port Macquarie’s best value and cheap youth hostel accommodation. While this quiet youth hostels location features a great social atmosphere in a tropical setting, it is only 5 mins walk from town, shops and bars. Richard used his 8 years of backpacking hostels experience to renovate and extend Ozzie Pozzie and operate it as a friendly fun-filled hostel with lots of free extras. Newly extended it is spotlessly clean with two cosy courtyards to meet and greet, and lounges & hammocks to enjoy in a cabana around a palm fringed pool.

The hostel is nice, clean and the staff are friendly however, this is not an 18+ hostel and was woken up at 6am on a Sunday morning by children running about & screaming. As a solo backpacker who stopped here to break up the drive between Brisbane & Sydney I really needed some rest. There was nothing stated in Hostelworld about this being a child friendly hostel and if I had of known I would have booked elsewhere.

This is my second time staying here and didn't disappoint. The staff are always friendly and I just enjoy getting know other travellers. The room was exactly what I needed after a long day of driving. This is definitely one of the best Backpackers I've stayed at. I'll definitely come back again. The only downside was with a shared bathroom/toilet facilities there was not enough toilet paper and ran out in the middle of the night.

The hostel by itself is amazing (clean bedrooms and showers, swimming pool, ping pong table, pool, barbecue) but what I really liked was the vibe between everyone. People are chill, and respectful, always available to have a talk, and the services from the hostel allow us to bond really fast (cheers to the cheap surf lessons). Anyway, go this hostel!

I volunteered in the Ozzie Pozzie Hostel for one month and all I can say is that I will never forget my time there. The receptionists are such lovely and helpful people trying to make everything possible for you.The whole atmosphere in the hostel is really chill, it doesn’t feel like a hostel at all, you can watch movies with your friends in the TV room, play table tennis and pool or just chill at at the pool (nicest place in my opinion ;)) The kitchen and bathrooms are really clean as well as the rooms. The hostel also arranges group surf lessons which you can do with your friends in the morning :) Literally nothing to complain about!

Stayed one night in a single room (not shared with other people). The room was on the small side but spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. An air conditioner would have helped as the fan was not quite enough to cool the room down. Ozzie Pozzie is about a fifteen to twenty minute walk to the centre of town (depends on your walking speed). It is set in beautiful gardens with bright, colourful eating and leisure areas. Would definitely suit young travellers.

First time ever for me, a truly perfect experience. Room was basic but clean and comfortable, showers and toilet clean and well maintained. Communal areas, kitchen etc very well organised. Reception staff are lovely and always helpful. The hostel is well situated for easy access to all areas.
