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 hostel, very friendly, great location. They lend surf boards so you can go right to the beach (a 5min walk) and test your surfing skills! Barbecue night, open mic night... This hostel does it all. A very social hostel, loved it!

    Great location, great hostel vibes, for what we wanted to pay it was so much better than staying at a stock standard hotel in the sticks

    Honestly the best hostel I have stayed at in Australia! Super friendly staff, clean facilities and rooms, the best shower head (one of those big overhead ones), every bed had powerpoints and USB charging, great location and fantastic price.
