South Coast Backpackers, this small cottage, is situated on top of a hill, approximately ten minutes walk from the harbour and fifteen minutes walk from Ulladulla centre, where you can find shops, a pub, and a few restaurants. Ulladulla is a quiet small town but very pleasant to stay for a couple of days.
This hostel has a large fully-equipped kitchen with storage space for food and fridges with separate compartments for each room. The common areas include a living room with TV and a nice terrace with tables where you can eat and relax. The rooms are not very big but cosy and clean. At night, the place can be noisy though.
Mark and Helen, the owners, are nice but a little bit too concerned. They give you information about Ulladulla and all the instructions you need to know about the hostel. They have many, many rules posted all over the place telling you what to do and not to do. On the plus side, you can borrow some bicylces and surf boards for free. We really had a good time there and would definitely go back.
