only thing that there wasn’t really a light in the bedroom

If you’re in a backpacker/traveler mood, this is the place to be!! very cozy place (also the decoration) with shared bathroom, kitchen, movie and gaming room

Stopped in here for a night on my drive to Brisbane. I got the private room which was larger than I expected, had two pillows, a very decent towel and a very comfy bed. My expectations were certainly exceeded.

It's a shame that a freezer isn't available. I had been using freezer blocks to keep my self-catering supplies cold while I was travelling between accommodation stops and I couldn't freeze them during my stay at Ozzie Pozzie. It's a minor inconvenience in light of all the other wonderful facilities, and probably something that wouldn't be an issue for 99% of guests.

I stayed for 2 nights (26 & 27 March 2025). The staff at Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers are wonderful (shout out to Sarah and Sophie). I felt very welcome and Sarah was very patient when my check-out morning didn't go to plan and I was delayed. I was in Room #11 and I would definitely stay in that room again! 😄 The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room has a ceiling fan, and windows you can open to let in fresh air. The bathroom was clean and roomy. The desk and chair in the room was the perfect size for me to set up my mobile office, with power points perfectly located. Parking is convenient either in the car park or on-street parking right out front. The communal kitchen is spacious and well equipped for all your self-catering needs. The food labelling system is convenient and effective. They have so much to do there that you wouldn't have to leave the site if you didn't want to go exploring Port Macquarie. The pool area has plenty of seating, a couple of tables, and it even has a little sheltered nook with a hammock and lounges behind a lovely garden. You'll also find a raised lounge area looking out at the pool that has room enough for your exercise workouts. You'll find plenty of games, a reading room loaded with books, ping pong and pool tables, plus TV room with plenty of movies to choose from. You can trust the photos on their official website.

The staff here were so lovely and accommodating with our greyhound bus times (arriving and leaving at 1am). The hostel itself is really nice and in a good location not far from the beach, would stay here again

The entire facility was so well appointed. I am an older traveller and I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and other guests. I was really impressed with how much was available to do without leaving the site. I particularly liked the way the pool area is designed. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering meal prep and cooking. There is ample parking. My thanks go to Sarah who handled my check-in and made me feel very welcome

Nothing!

Lovely hostel, really fun facilities, pool table, ping pong, comfy TV room open 24 hours and a clean lovely pool with a net for volleyball. Kitchen facilities were clean and easy to use, bedroom was absolutely perfect - clean and larger than I expected. Shared bathroom with just one other room so worked out perfectly. Would also like to thank the Duty Manager, Sarah, who found my lost rings and made my day!!!! Sarah was so friendly and lovely, such a kind soul. Thanks again Sarah!!

Awesome place to base yourself in Port Macquarie - 15 minute walk into the main town/marina. Very clean and plenty of facilities, staff were very kind and welcoming!

Bed was a bit lumpy, and walls were thin and are room was right next to the kitchen, so could get noisy at times.

Nice laid back vibe, lots of good facilities and good for catching the 1am bus (good late check-in system, and able to stay and rest in the communal areas before leaving).

Huge ants in the room, was a bit out of the main town

Really nice pool. They let us stay all day as our bus was at 1 am and also really easy to check in at 1 am too! Also plenty of food storage space.

Nice hostel. Really convenient way of late check in. Was only there for one night, arrived late and left early, but all seems good

wifi wasn't available in all parts of the hostel - my room.

Staff were super friendly, great hostel, it was peak season so a higher rate than I was hoping for but it provided me with all that I needed.

Still just not used to the high cost of accommodation in Australia.

There was a great kitchen with a very big refrigerator big enough for everyone’s food & a grocery store nearby. There’s a washing machine - $3. / load. Swimming pool & common areas, ping pong. Walking distance to the Port Macquarie Coach Station where the NSW train system drops you off & takes you back to the Wauchope train stop. The train system is so wonderful & efficient. We also walked to the Koala Hospital & to Flynn’s Beach. Then we were hot & tired & Ubered back for $13.. (We’re seniors.)
