Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The room was clean, good air conditioner, good bbq and swimming pool area. The manager is very kind and he gave us good information about the area and tourist points.

Staff was very friendly, the swimming pool was incredible. Our room was very nice, we stayed in a twin room, and we had a sink in it, which was great! The hostel is very close to the beach, walking distance. Also, it is not far away from base hostel, where night life is. The kitchen is amazingly clean and organized.

Large kitchen area, fridge and washing basin in the room

The room was very clean, spacious and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Our room had a sink and fridge which was very handy to have. The shared toilets were also very clean and there were plenty there to share so you were never waiting for the bathroom. Overall a very pleasant stay

We always have a great stay at C stay! Friendly owner and great little rooms that have a fridge, air con - a sink and somewhere to hang your clothes - everyone is always so friendly! You just have to remember to bring your own food and drinks as there is no supermarket in Picnic Bay - but the pub sells soft drinks etc for takeaway in the bottleshop and they do great meals as well as a few other places there!

Friendly staff Relaxed atmosphere All the facilities you need Great location Wish I had the time to stay longer

Very clean, simple and low cost - exactly what we were looking for.

Staff were nice, facilities were good and location was amazing.

Lovely place to stay. Affordable and great location. Picnic Bay is beautiful and peaceful. The bedroom is comfortable and clean. Adam is super kind, always there to help you if you need anything. Facilities like the kitchen, swimming pool, a sink in the bedroom and air co were highly appreciated. I would definitely recommend it and be back. Thank you :)

We had a great time! This is the second time I've come to stay at C-Stay and I hope to return again. It is located in the beautiful area of Picnic Bay. It's a close walk to the bus stop, to the pub and a great Italian restaurant, Mamma Roma's. We even managed to see some local koalas chilling out front. It's great value for money and the owner goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel welcomed.
