Amazing atmosphere, the staff was super welcoming and the people there were super cool. We only spent 2 days in this lovely hostel, but the experience was a blast. Super chilling areas, great nights and lovely people

Set in Port Macquarie, 2.5 km from Town Beach, Port Macquarie Backpackers offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Check in was very easy as they shared the door code and left the key out as we were arriving late. The room was clean and comfortable. The free pancakes were great for breakfast.

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.

    Everything was amazing here! The number of common areas such as the reading room, movie theatre, games room, pool area with nice seating, and the amount of tables outside under shade to relax and chat. The TV room is open 24/7, the kitchen has food facilities, and the staff are so lovely! The washing line is really decent for the amount of people, and the cleanliness is great. Definitely the best hostel I stayed in after 6 weeks of travelling the East Coast!

    Very Dog friendly. Can leave doggy if you need to pop out , assuming it's not a barker! Great location for the very good dog beach. It's across the road from the beach headland. So the coastal walk above the beach is a lovely walk. The Nobbys dog beach is a gently stroll along the coast for a few minutes. Lovely safe dog beach. Note there are a few steps to the beach. If you walk to the next beach there's a cafe by the beach. Lovely friendly owner who lives upstairs. Back yard is all fenced and grass .

    Real backpackers hostel with good spirit by staff and quests. Everybody help and care everyone, me too, even I was much older than the others. I slept very well. I booked own room and got it. It was made for 6 (3 bunk bed) so don’t wait studio style room or bed. Shared toilet and shower room ok.
