Description
A vibey atmosphere resonates from this converted train station and the train still runs, booze cruises up the track or on the river, sundowners in our private and pristine garden. Our funky restaurant and pub has the best menu in town, even the snacks are great. Adventure activities are abundant and include; Scuba diving, Sky diving, Horse riding, Power kiting, Dune boarding, Deep sea fishing, River fishing etc etc. Surfing is the most consistent all year round plus in our small town there are no crowds, anywhere, ever ! So if you want an escape from it all and still do it all, pull-in soon . You need this place!!!

3 Lovely bar and pub. Very plain but what more do you need from a backpackers? Tap water not for consumption but they provide fresh water. Friendly people, lots to do -- had stacks of fun! One of the most beautiful areas we ever visited!

1 A place to avoid. It's a dirty, basic dorm. Extremely dirty, greasy, disgusting kitchen (sort of, it's at the end of a corridor, and it's one square meter). There was no drinking water. Unsafe. You have to get pots and plates from the pub next door. No lockers, and no locks. Basic, over-flowing showers. It's a pity because this small town looks pretty.
