Just great! Really nice place to stay. The people are helpful and the place is like a home. If you are wanting to work they will help you -- but mostly vineyard work which is not so good but Leeways makes your stay worth it. Love the parties in the shed. Pip and Matt, the managers, were great and we miss them so much. Go and see for yourself.

Finally a hostel that feels like home! This is a large house that has been converted into a hostel. It has 7 bedrooms but it is not cramped at all. The owners have travelled the world themselves and know what it feels like to be away from home, therefore have thought of everything. There is two new bathrooms, which are kept spotless. The kitchen is also new and each drawer has a nice surprise in it, as the owners feel you should have every cooking utensil possible, so you can cook more than pasta! There is 2 lounges,one with DVD player and SKY and then the other is more a games room.
There is laundry facilities and the internet is only $2 per hour, which is a great find for any backpacker!The manager can also try and help to get you work, if that is why you have come to Bleheim, or will suggest things to do in the region. There is free local pick ups and drops offs, but town is only 10 mins walk down Hutcheson Street.
Each night there is something on, from pizza nights, to cinema trips to the essential, grocery shopping night, which is great for thoses with out their own car.
All in all this hostel is amazing and well worth a visit, as once you get there you will not want to leave.
