The share kitchen was grotty & a bit smelly as some of the other guests didn't clean up after themselves. Disinclined to want to use it except to boil water for a cuppa

Location good, room & bed comfortable, shared bathroom clean, nice & quiet by just after 10pm.

I think overall it’s a nice place with great staff. Maybe a bit of exterior paint to the front would brighten the whole building up. Otherwise we were happy.

We didn’t have breakfast or use the kitchen as we had to depart early

Took longer than they said to get bond back

Didn’t have breakfast

Stayed in August 2021

There was no tv in the room, a bit more organisation for checking in and check out could be better. More variety of breakfast choices would have been great.

The location was great, short drive too the beach and close amenities. The bed was so comfortable, nice and clean. The staff was nice and accommodating. Overall I’m very happy with the service.

This place isn't as bad as the reviews. Pretty standard hostel. Aussies need a passport to stay in dorms which is pretty discriminatory since most Aussies don't travel with passports, clearly designed to keep Aussies out. I had mine. $20 key deposit is standard at a lot of hostels, most complaints are the $100 deposit for privates. That is a bit steep for a hostel but likely paying $200 deposit at proper hotels.

Pretty standard hostel. Staff seemed nice. Looks like they find a lot of backpackers work.

Kitchen messy and dirty. Stoves doesn't work and they don't have cooking stuffs .

They sent us the long list of rules 3 times. Reminiscent of boarding school. Sign on front door says breakfast included. Sign on the kitchen says no food is free, it all belongs to someone (else). Smoker outside the open doorway near the Ladies bathroom. General dilapidated, uninviting rabbit warren appearance of the place. Lock on door to bedroom was difficult to open so much so that we left the door unlocked when we went to toilet so that we could get back in.

Bed was comfortable. Staff friendly and tried hard to be helpful under pressure of oppressive rules and unclear communications. Offstreet parking. Reality was not as oppressive as the long list of rules suggested. We only wanted a place to sleep and the bed was clean.

The bed was on a sloped floor, not ideal. Bunks all squeak quite loudly with any movement. There was about a 2 inch gap under the door which leads outside so there was a draft of cold air coming in. We had to put bags across the door. The fridges in the kitchen all smell bad and need a good clean out. We only stayed here as there was no other option for accommodation. It was over priced as well.

Hot showers, warm room with air conditioner split system.

Don't like the location of 2 rooms for one family, they were totally opposite side. The facility had shared kitchen, washroom & toilets was very filthy. Room wasn't clean & bed sheets had dust on them. The smell was very bad when we entered to see the rooms but couldn't cancel the stay because paid the full amount of money. They still asked $50 bond even paid the full amount before we went there. The worse thing was the metal bunk beds 😢. Couldn't sleep well because whey were very noisy if i need to turn around my partner woke up with noise if she turn around then i woke up. There wasn't even good mattress we had sore in back. So be careful before you book that in. I think booking.com should charge us money when we get the property & inspect it then if we stay there or need option like accept or decline property. It's very bad experience.

The staff was helpful & the location is very good.
