    Very good prices, so good we treated ourself to a private room which was exceptionally clean and comfy. The kitchen was spotless with everything you needed, lots of outdoor seating, and the staff put on a trivia night which was great!! Met so many people considering we only stayed for one night.

    The room was so hot even with all the windows open and the fan on. Air-conditioning would've been nice.

    The facilities were great, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, pool, parking, TV room, reading room, everything you could need. Loved the ensuite in my shared room. Easy check in and check out.

    The beds weren't very comfy, and the fan was extremely loud.

    The room was clean, and towels were included with our booking. The kitchen facilities are well-equipped and the location within Port Macquarie was great. A lot of parking spots were available on and off-street.

    I wasn't the only person to lose food items which seems such a shame when the place has otherwise such lovely vibes. The bed was a bit short and small for a queen to share.

    So many cool things on site from laundry to games and reading room and mini cinema. Staff were lovely even helping me find my food that went walkabout from the kitchen. Maybe consider a wristband radar locker system like they have at raging waters water park.

    Great spot to stay in Port Macquarie. Clean and relaxed feeling.

    The room decor was a little basic and it was hard to close the curtains in such a way that there was no gap for someone to look in. Not a big deal.

    Someone takes good care of this hostel. It's obvious it's very well run. There are generous little things that indicate guests are given the benefit of the doubt, like the pool is open until quite late, nobody cares if you have a late arrival, the TV room is always open, etc. Kitchen is accessible from something like 3:30am. There is a nice relaxed friendly vibe. It feels like a place you could spend a few weeks, if you could think of something to do in Port Macquarie.

    Rooms would benefit from AC and the cleaners need to knock before the enter your room.

    Spacious shared areas with a nice pool and games room. Easy walk into the town as well .

    No AC in room but fine on the front as you had the coastal breeze and fan on the wall was adequate. A bit out of the centre but wasn't too far to walk.

    Fantastic little place. Plenty of toilets and showers. Extremely welcoming and friendly staff/other guests. A good ratio of capacity/facilities so never felt cramped or waiting for facilities.
