Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Best Backapcker in Australia? New owners since March 2011. Kitchen fully equipped and brand new, with huge fridges and shelves. Foxtel and HD Tv with hundreds of DVD/VHS. Pool table, piano, games. Extra clean, lovely staff and security perfect. After 3 months staying here, no trouble at all. — Alex , France (2011-10-13) To be avoided at all costs! Grotty, dirty throughout. The place stinks, literally. You've gotta work on a smell that bad -- it permeated from the walls and floor of our room. It was a strange combo of body odours. Cleaning -- no recent evidence. Security -- many notices on boards around the place about thefts. Sure enough, on the night we stayed (18/4/09) cars were broken into in the secure parking lot and burglars actually broke into the hostel by smashing through the kitchen window to gain entry and items were stolen. Live-in manager could not be found -- pitiful locks on doors.
Local thieves see this hostel as an easy and soft target. — Trav101 , AUS (2009-04-19) Friendly and welcoming The atmosphere of this former hotel is charming in a dusty way, as if time has stood still. Creaky floorboards; a long, wooden staircase; and a lazy friendly tomcat named Jet (supposed former owner of the place) add to the hostel experience, which would make for a great filming location (think The Adventures of Miss Marple). Big kitchen and common room with pool table, super friendly manager, and just an all around relaxed place to hang loose for awhile. Not many guests staying there in January, and my guess would be to schedule your visit pre- or post-lobster season, or the place gets crowded with people looking for a low budget accommodation while jobbing at the lobster factory. — desertmolly (2008-02-05) I stayed here for just over a week and felt at home from the beginning. Not only did Kala and Ant help me look for work they also welcomed me like an old friend. The hostel is very charming and definitely has a special touch. I would recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to feel at home. Thanks again for everything you guys! Hope Steve's room is still bright blue and yellow! — Mel (2005-10-25) I had a great stay here. It's a beautiful old building with a family feel about it. Ant and Carla are great hosts and couldn't do more for you. They are new owners and are busy decorating the whole place. It's clean and comfortable, on the beach and smack bang in the middle of town. — Sarah Wilcock (2005-04-18)
