Cronulla Beach YHA Hostel

Ok, if you don't want to cook
Reception staff seemed friendly and helpful, and room was clean and comfortable. Security seemed ok. But kitchen was in a state -- no-one appeared to do any washing up, there wasn't much cooking equipment and if you wanted plates and cutlery you had to go and ask for them at reception, apparently, although by the time I found this out, reception had closed. Seemed to be full of surfers.

I stayed at this hostel for about two and a half weeks in April '06. Its has a great location as Cronulla is a fantastic place but the hostel itself isn't great. The kitchen is poor, there is hardly any room in the fridges, cooking utensils are rubbish, people smoke in there even though they aren't supposed to, and it's very dirty! The bathrooms aren't much better either, showers are crap/don't work well, and the floor is always dirty. On the plus side the lounge is quite nice and there is a pool table in the kitchen, but overall this hostel is nowhere near as good as the better hostels in sydney, which is a shame because Cronulla itself is fantastic!

I love Cronulla beach yha! Stayed there for 3 months. Not the cleanest place in the world but if you're out backpacking, cleanliness and stuff like that shouldn't be a thing to worry about. Lovely people all around, relaxing surroundings, great parties, loads of work possibilities-- and I could go on. I miss the place badly.

This place was a dump. It smelled like B.O. everywhere. It was VERY dirty. Among the worst hostels I've been to. Don't waste your money or your time. There are nice beaches other places - this one isn't worth having to stay at this hostel.

Man, I love that beach. It's the best ever and I'll never forget it. I want to give a big shout out to my girls and boys over there. I love you heaps. I will never forget Gunnamatta Bay.

This hotel was bad because it wasn't clean and everyone was mean to me.

I love the Beach :)!!! I learned to surf there last year. Check it out if you're in Oz, mates. :) Check ya lata.

Very clean, easy to get to from Sydney by train, small and friendly. The beach is great and so is the easy access to the Royal National Park. The best thing of all is that it is te only backpackers in Cronulla so you can find work easy in the cafes, restaurants and pubs. A really good place to chill out, meet new friends and earn some money.
