Cosy, relaxed, helpful
If I didn't have a time restraint I probably would've stayed longer. Ozzie Pozzie not only set me up with a kayak tour, but were really helpful if getting it all changed around for me when I got sick. The staff are the most friendly, welcoming people you could ask for and they made me feel right at home. The colourful decor gives the place a funky, islandy feel that's hard to find in hostels. Small and intimate, Ozzie Pozzie was a great find and made my time in Port just awesome (even though I was sick).

Friendly, great!
The hostel is just great. The owner is very friendly and there is lots to do in this little place. If I'm correct eight beaches, which are amazing! Go surfing with the dolphins on the lighthouse beach. The hostel has a pool and a backyard where everybody sits and talks about their travels. You can get bodyboards, surfboards, and mountain bikes. I had a very good time there with Christmas (free BBQ for everyone)! Don't make the mistake to stay there only for one night.

Perfect chilled place to hang around
I thought I'd let people know that it's changed hands. I stayed in June 2008 and it has recently been taken over by a fellow that has himself done a lot of traveling so he know what backpackers want. He spent lots of time with the guests answering questions, giving advice, cooking BBQs, and just making sure everyone was having a good time. I was cycling throughout the area and was only going to say a night and ended up staying for two because the place was so nice and clean and full of good people. Highly recommend it.

Nice hostel, good facilities, small dorms (i stayed in a three-bed dorm). A little bit of a walk from the main street, but i was very impressed that the shuttle bus came and picked us up when we arrived in town even though it was well after 10 p.m. Free muesli, tea, and coffee. Free bikes are not really free ($7 "maintenance fee") and not the best quality, but still handy. Music and the hammocks give the courtyard a cool feel to it.

We stayed two nights in Ozzie Pozzie in december. The hostel looks nice, the guy who picked us up was really nice, but the owner is a pain in the ***. There is no such thing as free bikes, while the put out adverts which tell you they have free bikes. the bikes can't be ridden when it had rained. We couldn't leave our luggage at the hostel while we were waiting for the bus and went to the bar with all our gear. Funny thing that the owner of the bar could tell us we were from Ozzie Pozzie, because they s*ck (he said.).

This was the best hostel I have stayed in! The owners were the friendliest couple you could ask to meet and the new night manager was a great guy! I'm sure to be back! If you don't stay in Ozzie Pozzie you are missing out on the best hostel you can think of!!! Go here!!!

The facilities were good. Bit of a bummer the owner was such a toss as it really dampened my stay in Port Macquarie, but I'll be back (Port is an awesome city with heaps to do).

Great hostel. The only thing stopping it from being excellent was the caretaker/handyman who seemed to let the power (!) he had go to his head. Apart from this, great place to meet people. Made a handful of friends for life here!
