10/10 Exceptional

Great location, great value

We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom and it was great for a cheap price! Nothing flashy, but had everything we need. The social areas of this hostel are really good, and the kitchen is well stocked. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay close to Scenic World or 3 sisters (30 mins walk)

Perfect location and great service

It's located nearby several hiking paths, waterfalls and rain forests. The rooms are cozy and the breakfast is simple yet delicious. The service is also really good. Flavia was a great help and her colleagues were really kind as well. We particularly loved the hall where we could read and eat. Really really great. Thank you.
