Lovely hostel and lovely owner. Very pleasant vibe, we felt comfortable and enjoyed staying here. Would definitely come back.

Eva Netherlands

good atmosphere, greeted at the bus stop by people in banana suits, nice outdoor area when not raining, relaxed atmosphere, cheap rooms.

Sophie United Kingdom

Spent 8 days in Agnes water and despite its not that big I’ve enjoyed my time. would highly recommend to book a trip to lady Musgrave!!

Isa Netherlands

Very laid back. Good location. Great outside area. They pick people up from the bus stop at night. Clean

Luke Australia

The hostel has an extremely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It has been taken over recently, and fortunately it seems the new owner is keen to maintain this... The location is great, just 5 minutes walk from the bus stop, supermarket and shops, the library, and perhaps 10 minutes from the beach. The kitchen is super big and organised, and is generally kept clean. There is a great outdoor social space, as well as indoor couches (closed at night, unfortunately). The rooms are nicely spaced out, with plenty of floor area for bags etc. The lockers are big enough for all your small items including laptops etc. There are individual plugs either at or close to every bed. The showers were fairly hot and pressure good.

Edward Sweden

Just everything. So far best hostel I've ever stayed at! Met amazing people, the manger and the staff are like your family They helped me and my friend above and beyond!

Einav Israel

Very nice owner, always ready to help! Chilly atmosphere.

Yen Netherlands

It was like a little indoor oasis there. Nicely decorated, nice people, decent rooms and my highlight… a gigantic bumblebee in the entrance greeting you with a surfboard 😉

K Germany

Nice Hostel for a few nights, spacious, friendly staff and guests, and comfortable beds with enough plugs in the room and great decorations.
