Frogshollow is a friendly hostel situated in a quiet street just outside the main city centre area but still within a short walk of all the action. The hostel is surrounded by tropical plants and has a lovely garden area with a pool, spa, and BBQ. There is a very relaxed atmosphere here.
The facilities are good. There is a well-equipped kitchen (free light breakfast), internet access, vending machines, laundry, and large communal area for dining/relaxing. There is often a cheap BBQ evening where you get lots of yummy food at a brilliant price. If you are self-catering, there is a large supermarket (Woolworths) at the top of the road, less than 5 minutes' walk.
The dorms all have either fans or air-con and are different sizes depending on how much you want to pay. However, they are all adequately spacious with lockers provided for each person (padlock required). Some of the bunkbeds are missing ladders or the ladders are inaccessible so it may pay to touch up your pole-vaulting skills before arrival! There are separate male and female bathrooms which are kept very clean.
Free pick-ups can be arranged from train station. Call or email in advance or look-out for the van on arrival. Otherwise, the hostel is no more than 10 minutes' walk from the downtown area.
