Anglesea Backpackers

A small, immaculately clean Hostel with good kitchen and lounge/dining area. Be sure to read, study, and adhere to the rules as owner is quick to anger. Must vacate at 10 a.m. and not return until 1 p.m. however the cleanliness, comfort of the bunk beds more than compensate. Only a couple of other guests at time of staying however thin walls and floorboards make the slightest sound carry. A ten-minute walk down to the Anglesea beach or cafe also a bonus. Anglesea is a beautiful place with beach stretching right round to Point Roadknight and is a perfect base from which to explore the Great Ocean Road. Highly recommended.

Very clean and tidy hostel. The double room has its own bathroom and appears to be set up for disabled travelers. Good kitchen and communal areas. The polished floorboards mean that every footstep travels at night, and the rooms got a little cold in the early mornings. Make sure you bring warm sleeping gear. Otherwise it's a great hostel, with a friendly owner. Anglesea itself has great beaches and the kangaroos at the golf course are a sight to see.

It IS very clean and tidy. The walls are a bit thin so noise travels. The shower for the dorms is a bit cramped and the arm for the shower head is a bit manked. After dark a ring-tail possum walks along the power lines in front of the hostel – the owner might point it out to you.
