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. Safe. Quiet. We had milk in our fridge, tea coffee. Really lovely stay. Alley way nearby but still private. Fruit trees on property were yummy. House is warm. Comfortable if you have a family. Our children loved it. They call it our Hamilton house haha.

    A good option for budget travellers. I paid less here than I would for a private room in a hostel with a shared bathroom, so honestly I thought it was fine for the price! The location is excellent, wifi works well, there’s a small fridge in the room.

    property was great, cleaned and well maintained. tight parking space yes but none the less you get parking on the property which is safer then parking it outside. overall a fantastic experience. don’t let what I wrote about the things I didn’t like stop you from coming here for a cheap place to stay.
