    No laundry, no shop and no vending or anything. I starved. Many of us are hikers and are on foot. This is a terrible hostel!

    I never received a notice of which room I was in so had to guess. A group showed up for the same room, so that was awkward. No laundry facilities, and the place is filthy.

    The rooms were very noisy, you could hear people the room next door. Also the bathroom door had a lock that couldn’t be unlocked without a knife. My partner got locked inside and I had to slide a knife under the door

    Just a warning that there is no one really at this hostel it seems (at reception I mean). I did arrive quite late in the evening, but there were two other guests there who arrived a lot earlier and said there had been no one there; I also left at 8am (which isn’t super early) and there was still no one there. It doesn’t matter too much because you are emailed a code to get into the building…but it does feel quite ghostly, which is just a warning I’d have for solo travellers (especially as there were very few guests). There’s also no obvious number to call if you needed any questions. A strange place, but for the price you pay, it’s fair.

    The hostel is actually a nice building and is fairly clean; there’s a big kitchen and lounge as you enter with a table, and a deck outside, and these are nice places to relax. The dormitory I stayed in was very clean and comfy. You get what you pay for.

    Clearer information when booking

    We booked way more rooms than necessary as we were a group of 9 and it wasn’t clear that one of them was actually an apartment that fit at least 6 people, one of our rooms was left entirely unused

    We couldn’t open the window of our room, because it didn’t have a mosquito net and it was very hot and humid (it was full of insects outside) Also the were only 2 plugs to charge our phones and we were 3 in a room. There was a big family staying at the hostel so they made a lot of noise. it only have 2 or 3 showers and was all wet around the bathroom

    The location is the best of the hostel. Very nice area and too close from 12th Apostles It was clean

    Sheets were clean, bed was comfy. If the building doesn't fall down on you in the night be thankful.

    The building is in dire shape and it could fall down at any minute. Cracks in the wall, the floor is on a slant so that you feel like you're walking down hill moving from room to room. Furniture lifted up to level them out.. I also didn't like that we were charged for a unit and then another room which we didn't need and didn't use. No one around to talk to about this either. SO bad.

    The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The unit was big enough for our family of 5.

    Relaxed vibe where we had our own bedroom space and shared facilities for meeting interesting people

    • Stayed 1 night

    The electricals need upgrading please. ie, the fact there is only one powerpoint in the kitchen, and a too-sensitive powerboard, meant that we could only use one item at a time...so if we wanted to use the induction cooktop, or the microwave or kettle or toaster, we had to unplug the other items and plug the one we wanted into the extension cord. This was a little frustrating, although also created some quirkiness. Also, the kitchen plug leaked sometimes but not other times.

    I liked that there were shared facilities - kitchen, lounge, bathroom, decking - plus we could have our own family room for sleeping. I liked seeing the wallabies in the backyard and the relaxed vibe of the place. We met really interesting people. I liked the outdoor eating and cooking areas. The caretaker was really responsive to our call with our last-minute booking; very appreciated.

    The premises is in desperate need of an uplift. Kitchen facilities were just ok.

    The place of the hostel is very (but very VERY) remote. Nothing around us. No supermarket or place to get food. We already drove miles on the GOR so we had to go back a bit to get food. Kitchen wasn’t the cleanest. Showers so low, I had a hard time showering. Also, love the free shampoos etc but please label it so we know which one is which haha

    So so quiet. We literally though we were the only ones in the hostel. Kangaroos around the hostel/garden!!

    The facilities need a bit of upkeep, showers and kitchen area a bit grotty and not great space for cooking a meal.

    Location was great- just down the road from the 12 apostles which made it super easy to pop down to see them at sunset. Bed was comfy. Didn’t really see any staff for check in but staff we did see were friendly.

    Had to ring on arrival to find out room number as no one was there. Very remote location which we expected but can only really stay in the hostel once there.

    Good value for money, the cheapest hostel we’ve stayed in so far! Cooking facilities all there and wifi was good.

    Weird. Did not see one other person while I was there
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    No one there - not staff or guests - and only after wandering around inside for awhile did I find a hand written note on the common room table. This should be on the front door. So I was able to call the manager and find out which room to stay in. It turned out that had a used bed in it so he was able to direct me while I was on the phone to another room. Comfortable enough. There was a heater in the room and I did get it to work although this took quite some time and there were no instructions. The two minute buttons that controlled it are underneath and there are no arrows showing where they are. So this was frustrating.

    Well, not a whole lot really but neither did I dislike it. Frankly, it was weird staying at a place with no other people, not even a staff person to meet me and book me in. So something to talk about when I got home.

    We did not stay. The facility was in poor condition. The bed looked liked it had been slept in for a week. The property smelt. There were broken windows and doors. I wouldn’t let my dog sleep there.
