    Nice stay with some catches...

    PROS: The host was very welcoming and gave us a free room upgrade. The room was above expectations (fridge, TV, air con, ceiling fan) and personal cutlery/tableware set provided. Location was outside a bus stop, so we didn't need to carry our bags any distance. Room felt nice and clean. CONS: beware there is no flexibility on bag storage/waiting in the common room past 5pm, even if your onwards travel departs shortly after this time. Toilets/showers could do with an update and you have to go outside to move between your room and other areas, Inc toilet/sink. Also, Persistent warnings and reminders everywhere felt patronising and unhomely.

    Room had a skylight with no curtain so it feels like someone turned on the lights at 6.30am.

    Nice environment, good kitchen and living areas. Friendly staff.

    My room did not have a private bathroom attached; however I knew this when booking and the shared bathrooms were more than fine and provided privacy. This might be a turn off for some, however it is well promoted as to what is being provided.

    Spacious room within a structure of natural timbers for flooring and roof. Excellent air-conditioning and natural ventilation if preferred. The shared kitchen and dining area is lovely and again is an earthy, easy to relax in space.

    The mattress could use replacing in the room I was in. Also, while it's so lovely to feel like you're in a treehouse, on the windy night I was there a tree was banging on the tin roof throughout the night. I have earplugs and it still woke me up.

    The room I had was quite charming, though simple. The location is relatively convenient. I didn't stay for long enough, but it seems like there are lots of fun facilities from a giant Connect 4, and outdoor bbqs. The hammocks are also a nice touch.

    There’s nothing negative about it. Just be aware there are not many buses coming very often so you need to organise your times.

    The staff was so kind and helpful The common areas of the hostel are beautiful and really chill, a good place to breath and relax

    Difficult to get hold of staff if nobody was manning reception. Phone number doesn’t work without an Australian number.

    The property was quiet and had a relaxed environment. It was nice to be able to spend time in the garden relaxing.

    Only thing was the sleep got disturbed because of the possums up the roof. However, it’s expected as it’s an eco friendly accommodation 😊

    The property was very budget friendly and in a very convenient location.
