At the hostel, every room has a desk and a patio with a mountain view. Joy River Backpackers provides certain units with river views, and each room has a kettle. The units will provide guests with a fridge. This is a gem. We loved the views and surrounding areas, a unique experience. Great stopover on the Panorama Route. Loved that it had indoor and outdoor fireplace and was very convenient.
