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.

    Great location. A safe and quiet area near to the beach with partial sea views and lovely Mountain views. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony and the natural light from the expanse of windows. A well equipped and well laid out kitchen. We also appreciated using the bikes to explore the local area. Mia responded promptly to our questions and was very helpful with recommendations of places to go

    This is a great backpackers! We had a double bed with a bunk bed. Kitchen facilities and fridge were perfect. Beds very comfortable. Added bonus was the fan in our room. We were only there for a night but could have stayed longer.

    It was the best hostel I've ever booked. Amazing showers and toilets. Super clean and modern. Little kitchenette in the room with kettle, glasses, plates etc. Great location as it is super central. Very close to the ocean and cliff trail. The little breakfast was ok, cereal toast and Marmelade.
