We really enjoyed our stay here even if it was for only one night. The whole place was very clean and modern and the staff were very friendly. It does have a slight prison feel with the open bathrooms but the rooms and downstairs is very comfortable and the kitchen area was very well equipped, probably the best we had... More

Stayed one night in a private room. Room contained a king bed and two stools. Walls are white with no decorations. Hallway is lined with showers and toilets. Everything is very well designed, clean and functional, however it ends up feeling quite cold. The place was not very busy when we were there so it might feel warmer when there... More

We particularly liked the TV area with sofas and blankets where you can watch your movies. Kitchen was really well organized with a big central counter (16 cooking zones) and several sinks and fridges. People here were nice. The hostel has been refurbished and renovated recently so beds and mattress are really nice and clean, and rooms pretty spacious. Really... More

We stayed in a 6 bed dorm for 1 night and it was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful, showers and toilets were very clean and kitchen area was great. Short walk to main street and they even gave us a voucher for a backpacker meal at one of the restaurants! Only thing I did not like was that... More

We stayed in a double room for one night. Whole hostel is spotlessly clean, modern with minimalist decor. It has an interesting layout with rooms down one side of the upstairs corridor and shower/toilet cublicles directly opposite. While it stays clean and modern, that feels very convenient and a neat way to arrange it. The "water reuse" toilets with a... More

Stayed here on our trip down ocean road. Very close to twelve apostles. Hostel offers trips and information and reception staff are friendly and helpful. The lounge area was very open with lots of seating and the dining room was basic. The kitchen had areas to store your food and good facilities. The bedrooms were basic bunks but the beds... More

Hi there, and thanks heaps for your review!!! We're happy that you chose to bunk down with us in our hostel. Many of our other guests also comment on the points you make... our huge, open plan lounge area, the kitchen (heaps of guests cook up a storm in there!) and the comfort of those beds. If you're ever down... More

No frills but everything you need from a hostel. Very friendly staff who make you feel at home. Would recommend to friends.

Hi M! Thanks for putting pen to paper, and lodging your review. (And you're correct - we are a no-frills accommodator, which many other guests have made comments about. In fact, I'd reckon the two most consistent comments we get are about the 'no frills' style of our accommodation, and our cleanliness... and I reckon one goes hand-in-hand with the... More

This hostel is VERY basic, I cannot fault it for its cleanliness but there were several flaws. There is no storage at all for bags etc, everything was on the floor of the dorm room. So if you're backpacking, theres nowhere secure for your things! The showers are only available during set times which is pretty restricting. Otherwise the living... More

Hi! Your comments are pretty much right on about our hostel: we are basic (awesome common areas tho', you'd agree?) and very clean. (And, we try to be a little bit green, as well). We provide facilities and infrastructure to suit all sorts of budget travellers (including backpacker groups, so see the comments about that aspect of our business, in... More

We recently stayed for two nights at this hostel in a double room. In terms of positives, I can’t fault it on cleanliness as the room, bathrooms, kitchen and lounge areas where exceptionally clean. The kitchen was also very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots/pans etc. However, the whole hostel had the feel of a prison or a... More

Hi. Firstly, allow me to introduce my wife (Rebecca) and myself (Tony) who manage this hostel. As far as we can tell, we are the only hostel in the world 100% owned by a volunteer Surf Life Saving Club (in our case, the Port Campbell Surf Life Saving Club), which has been the way it is since the PCSLC first...
