    Staying here is like finding a hidden gem. Rob and his team should be so proud of what they have created. Rob takes time to welcome all guests with helpful information. It’s a beautiful retreat with many chill out areas. I love the music and ambience here. Comfy beds, lovely size pool / laundry are an added bonus. You will see young wallabies in the gardens. Really lovely cafe too with a licences bar. Frequent shuttle bus available to all. Thank you… Best hostel to date.

    Nice little hostel, quiet homely and the staff where friendly and helpful. The hostel is pretty clean however Its pretty dated and grubby in places so the staff did their best to make it look nice. However perfectly fine for a few nights stay. Beds where comfy and our room had the bathroom attached which was great and the price is good.

    We. Always love our stay here. Great location right on the beach and the restaurant is relaxing and looks over the water. The food is fantastic, both dinner and breakfast, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

    This is an "old school" backpacker hostel in the positive sense - it's got character, a nice atmosphere and it's not too big so that it's very easy to meet new people. The location is also amazing, very close to the beach and close to some nice bars, cafés and restaurants. Steph does a very good job running the place and helped us with anything we needed.

    Really nice and cozy single bed units (w/ good mattress!) with their own bathrooms and even personal fridge. Exactly what I needed after a month of hostels! The area is very quiet yet has a lot to offer. Caravan park itself is located right on the beach and within walking distance from the greyhound stop. Also had all you need as a backpacker, including laundry machines and a kitchen. Perfect stop for relaxing for a few days.

    Beautiful place in the middle of the trees. Very clean und friendly. Great hikes around and miles of empty beaches. Best hostel I've been in in Australia so far. Nice outdoor area to just chill, enjoy the sun and have some peace and quiet. Best Burger in a cute Cafe just down the road. They also do Trivia nights there etc which were fun.
