Breakfast isn’t included, but we have a kitchen and fridges. We cook, order food, or go to nearby places like Coles, McDonald's, or Subway. If it’s farther, delivery is usually an option. Be sure to change cash in Melbourne or Sydney before arriving. The atmosphere here is fantastic, with plenty of friendly people to talk to at any time of day. I’ve made many new friends, and the hostel is especially good at this time of year

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The kitchen is super spacious and you have everything you need (even an air fryer). Rooms are nice and super clean. The patio is nice as well. All staff is beyond, but special mention to Arthur who might have been the best ever in all hotels we’ve ever been to.

The amenities were all functional, clean and they had clean hand towels and clean bath mats. This alone speaks volumes about how well this hostel is maintained. The pool is magnificent. This hostel was a breath of fresh air on the journey of hostel life for a seasoned backpacking traveller.
