absolutely loved this hostel! probably the best I’ve ever been worldwide. The vibes are immaculate and the staff is super friendly and sweet. The outdoor shower is a must and the common areas are great (and pretty clean and try) to hang out with your mates! Only hostel that made me want to stay in all day rather than visit the area

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The property is close to the airport. They have a lot of social activities and a WhatsApp community with the announcements so you don’t miss out. They have the cheapest food and drink prices I’ve seen in my time in Australia and the food was delicious.

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.
