Great location and friendly staff! Downstairs brewery was a great bonus to our stay.

Georgia Australia

This is the nicest hostel I have ever stayed in. It felt like a hotel (granted we had a private room). It was so clean. The bedroom had its own flat screen TV and bathroom had toiletries. The staff were so friendly. The cafe area has been converted to a micro-brewery. We tasted some beers and they were great. I would stay here again, it feels good to support local staff doing such a great job.

Ciara Ireland

Staff very friendly and helpful. Beds very comfortable. Food very good - very fresh. Close proximity to beach, shops and other amenities.

Anne Australia

Right in the middle of town, staff were very happy to help. Own bathroom was great and huge communal area upstairs. Coffee downstairs in the morning was delicious & you get a discount on the food and drinks when staying upstairs.

Lisa Australia

I like the space and the social areas upstairs. The location was amazing

Kristabel Australia

The staff are extremely friendly and nothing is ever too difficult. Value for money. Great coffee and food in the Cafe at your door step. Convenient location with everything there for you.

Michelle Australia

The owner is such a lovely lady and very accomodating.

Michelle Australia

The staff is amazing, everyone is always so happy and friendly. The kitchen is very clean and rooms are cleaned well too. The general atmosphere at the hostel is warm and welcoming and also feels very safe. Togetherness was amazing, the hostel felt like home! You will not be disappointed if you decide to stay there. Ps. Go to Shane’s tour and take surfing lessons with him, you’ll have the best time
