Wow is a great word to describe Coffs Harbour YHA Backpackers Resort. This hostel is brand new. It was built from scratch (it didn't take over a previously occupied building) and opened in December 2004.
All areas of the hostel are immaculate, from the kitchen to the common area to the rooms and bathrooms. Bathrooms are only accesible by key card access and are gender-coded. This means that men can not access the female bathrooms and vice versa. The rooms contain brand-new bunk beds and large cabinets that can be locked if you have your own padlock.
The kitchen has plenty of room for everyone's food. There is a huge walk-in fridge and another regular fridge. The kitchen is always very neat and clean, even during busy times.
The hostel has an overall cheery feeling. The dining room lists the activities for the week. There are quite a few cheap BBQs and other activities throughout the week. The hostel is decorated with photographs and maps of Australia. It is a fun and social place, but it is neither very loud nor was it only a place to party. This is an ideal place for families and backpackers alike. The hostel is within walking distance of the beach. Free parking is available in the back.
