We had a great moment at Wilderness Beach House Backpackers Lodge ! Located in a nice spot: you can see the ocean and hear the waves from your room :) A very peaceful beach is at 50m from the hostel. We spend our two nights at the hostel bar : the staff was super friendly and drinks very affordable. Would definitely recommend it !

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. Peaceful & relaxing. Friendly welcome and induction from Jemma. Good advice on where to eat dinner. Due to travel delays we were late checking in but Jemma was more concerned that we drove safely than rushed.
