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.
