We verify reviews to ensure the traveller booked with Expedia Group. Travellers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
We could not get hold of anyone to let them know our flight was delayed after phoning and emailing most of the afternoon. We ended up in the dark rain and no where to stay at 9.30pm at night. Poor service
The staff were amazing, Nathan really went above and beyond to help me and show me all the amazing walks and things to do around town, the location is a bonus with the beach only a 2 minute walk
Really nice Hostel!! Loved all the palm trees everywhere and how close it is to the beach and shops, definitely recommend this place if you are a solo backpacker and love meeting new people as there was a bbq and a bingo night that got me to meet loads of backpackers like me (: Also a hostel cat named Harold that made my experience here 20x better

Good location to town. Great that they offered ear plugs.
Good hostel lots of information for things to do around the area and walking trails and in a good location to walk to places. Room was good, although limited power outlets. Kitchen was small but clean. Good entertainment in the bar each night with happy hour deals on as well
