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.

    Great location, easy walk to the CBD. Apartment was modern clean and spacious, with amenities well supplied in both kitchen and bathroom. Parking was secure and well worth it to guarantee car was safe. Staff were friendly and welcoming and answered questions earlier on, before staying.

    Great location and beautiful view of the ocean. Really clean facilities, nice sound proofed rooms and good king sized bed. Very efficient check in and check out. Parking was underground, did not have to park on the street, for 20 AUD per night. Excellent location to many restaurants and cafes. Good sized apartments. Had a great stay!
