We stayed in this hostel for a week in September 2005. We were originally only going to stay in Broken Hill for a few days but we stayed a week and only wish we hadn't booked our train, as we would of liked to have stayed longer. The hostel is big, clean and it has a nice solar-heated outdoor pool. The sitting area in the kitchen is absolutely huge and there is a big TV room, although our room had a TV so that was a bonus. The family that run the hostel are really nice and friendly and will go out of their way to help you, and made our stay here very enjoyable.

I visited the hostel in December 2004. The new owners had moved in a couple of weeks earlier. They are very nice people, very helpful and extremely relaxed. Excellent. They also have lots of plans to upgrade the hostel (the carpet needs replacing badly, but they already installed air-conditioning in every room). The owners were also very helpful with advice for tours. The hostel was a bit quiet, though. Probably 10-15 people in it, while there was space for maybe 50 or 100 people. The advantage was that they gave me a double room for me alone, with a guarantee that nobody else was going to move in. Very nice.
