This is a small and friendly hostel. The house is old colonial style with a homely feel about it, has a BBQ in the garden for backpackers and to cook on and sit round the fire afterwards with a cold drink etc! it also has a well equipped self catering kitchen to cook and a hot shower, bar and and safe parking.
