Lock in a great price for Bells Beach Backpackers – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Super nice staff, well equipped kitchen and nice common area

Daniela, Germany

Great location! Near from the bus stop, close to central of torquay

Shoko, Australia

Place is beautiful, well taken care off, clean and confortable, like any hostel should be. The owner is super friendly and has the cutest dog ever 😜 a must stay if you’re driving by!

Carolina, Brazil

This was my 2nd visit to Bells Beach Backpackers within a week, this time with friends I'd met at my last visit. The place is great, I can't fault it.

Bulunge, United Kingdom

Bells Beach Backpackers was a lovely place, the rooms were clean, the communal spaces well maintained (recently repainted) the facilities clean and everything worked. The owner (whose name I'm amshaed to say I don't remember) was friendly, conversational and made the stay all the more relaxing with his demeanour, the added bonus was the black lab (called Bella I think) who was also very friendly, but less conversational. I met other friendly backpackers and the place was more homely than a cheapo hostel which meant we felt more confortable to chat.

Bulunge, United Kingdom

The dorm & shared bathroom were very clean. Quiet at night Great staff and lovely labrador Bella

Anne-lise, France

The owner was very friendly, knowledgable and bonus had a lovely dog. Near all the local take aways and resturants

Kira, United Kingdom

The owner and staff were very friendly, close to everything, very comfortable and relaxing.

Taylor, United States of America

Very friendly, good surf information. Good intersection of travellers. Felt very welcome .

Helen, New Zealand

This hostel has a super calm and comfortable “beachy” atmosphere. I didn’t realize before I got there, but the owner actually lives there as well and interacts with the guests a lot so you know he wants you to have a good experience. They have the cleanest hostel kitchen I’ve ever seen and very nice seating area for you to hangout and meet other guests. Also very comfy beds!

If I had to say something it would be that the bathroom out back for rooms 7 & 8 is being refurbished/constructed and isn't in a completely finished state but that didn't really detract from the overall experience.
This was my 2nd visit to Bells Beach Backpackers within a week, this time with friends I'd met at my last visit. The place is great, I can't fault it.
