Great potential but so badly organised! Arrived with my boyfriend and had to stay in separate dorms the first night (Valentine's night!) but was told we'd be in the same dorm for our second night. However, not only were we in separate dorms the second night, but also separate buildings! The hostel didn't seem to know which rooms had spare beds and which rooms were full. The kitchen is so tiny! And only has one cooker for the whole hostel (which we were told sleeps one hundred people). There are no bunkbeds but the hostel really does utilise every space and crams the single beds in. Apart from the above, the location is fantastic and the bar downstairs was quite chilled out.

Good atmosphere, nice building, no bunks and a funky little bar. The only problem, as the person below said, is the tiny kitchen; recommended.

This hostel has the potential to be great. No bunk beds, generally clean, and a bar downstairs. What lets it down is the ridiculously small kitchen which has the smallest hob oven you've ever seen to accommodate about seventy-five guests trying to cook. The kitchen was also filthy. Could also do with more showers. With a little effort, it could be better, but at the moment, I wouldn't go back.

This hostel was done up recently and is the best hostel we have stayed in throughout Australia. The owners are really friendly and go out of their way to help you. The rooms are spacious and the beds are super comfy. The kitchen is small but there is loads of cooking stuff and it is more than suitable. The signs say the kitchen closes at 8 but it never does. This hostel is worth recommending to everyone.

The hostel is very clean. But the kitchen is a bit too small. The best thing is that you are close to the beach and plenty of shops and bars.

Although inappropriately named a 'beach resort,' this hostel was clean, comfortable, and spacious. It was a very enjoyable stay. Perhaps more bathrooms would really benefit the backpackers there. The kitchen closes a little early, I think--at 8pm!
