Nice location. walking distance to Hahei beach and just behind Hahei shops. We went for New Years with a group of friends and we enjoyed a lot. nice area outside for barbecue and friendly staff. Highly recommend it

Andreza Brazil

I really enjoyed the vibe of the hostel, it was well laid out and rustic feel. The staff were really friendly. Especially Glen, he went the extra mile when I was checking in - as I had booked online just before 7, he made sure to call me and give me clear instructions on how to check in. Very helpful !!

Melody New Zealand

The staff was lovely, super friendly and accommodating. Super clean room and facilities and very close to the beach. Looking forward to staying here again soon!

Emily United States of America

Glen was super welcoming and lovely. Had a few beers together and really made my stay in Hahei 10x better :)

Sarah United States of America

Glen, the receptionist, went above and beyond to ensure I was welcomed and found parking. He gave great recommendations. The accommodation was lovely, kitchen had everything you needed, and the rooms / bathrooms were clean!

Ashley United States of America

Quiet, spacious property with a variety of sitting areas indoors and out. Walking distance to beach and Cathedral Cove. Lovely staff.

Susan Canada

Perfect location with awesome staff - especially Glen. Super clean and comfortable, it was like a little vacation home turned into the best hostel. They had all you could need and everything was close walking distance.

Emilie Canada

Staff helpful, and the owner was always happy to help with all requests (and we had a few). Quiet place, at a very reasonable walking distance from stingray’s bay and Hahei beach. Coffee shop close by as well as a good souvenir shop nearby. Free wifi. Comfy bed.

Rita Portugal

The environment is beautiful, peaceful, walking distance to the beach and clean

Kwee Malaysia

Great spot to stay if you are visiting Cathedral Cove, Hahei Beach or Hot Water Beach (10 minutes away), parking available with some food options close by, very friendly staff, clean facilities, good amount of space in 6-bed dorm. We loved eating our meals outside at the tables and chairs provided.
