    I loved this YHA! Great jumping off point for the Great Ocean Walk, and it has beautiful facilities. I really enjoyed my two nights there.

    I liked the kitchens, the movie room and the games. The hostel is close to “downtown”. Lots of dining options close by. The walls are thin but travellers respected quiet time so we got decent sleep.

    The room wasn't that big for a 4-bed-dorm since it was fully booked but for 1 night it was ok. What I liked more were the kitchen and living room as well as several other rooms (for TV and for using the laptop more privately). It was great that...
