The room was great for the night and as we had to book last minute the staff were very accommodating there are peacocks that come and say hi as well beautiful

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Good for a quick stopover but also has a large kitchen and dining area (separate) so you could stay longer. One of the cheapest options in the area and quite recent for the price, particularly if you are travelling on a budget.

    Our stay was short so I went for a budget room as we didn't stay in the room much. It provided all what we needed except for a hairdryer! Clean, comfy and great location. Friendly staff. Thank you

    Great price in a great location. I didn’t realise that it was a Youth Hostel but was expecting a room with shared facilities and that is what I got. The room was clean, good email communication before arrival including how to use the key safe (I arrived after 8:00 pm), and good parking (I was towing a boat trailer).
