What people say about our backpackers hostel
Multiple happy stays! Royce and Linda are such welcoming, interested and informative hosts! The hostel is super clean, comfortable beds, warm rooms, well equipped kitchen and beautiful bathrooms. It is lovely to hear soft piped bird song in the corridors, lounge and dining room in the morning. It’s affordable and provides lots of information about local activities."
