    Honestly speaking, all I didn't like was, was that I had to depart. And return home.

    The comfortable happy vibes, Byron's famous 40 km beach directly across the road to "wake up".

    Nothing special.

    I like the location to access the belongil beach taking only 3minutes same as waiting to cook cup noodle. Tree house which is located near this hostel plays good laid-back music everyday. I love this place.

    stayed here for a night while on a road trip. Very comfortable, but a bit noisy as it’s a backpackers hostel. All in all

    The cleanest hostel we've ever stayed in, the beds were super comfy & the outdoor communal area was so lovely. The free shuttle bus to/from town is great. We only stayed one night, but wish we'd been there longer. Highly recommend a stay here.

    The hostel was slightly further out of town but it's a nice walk and at low tide you can walk back along the beach. They did double charge me but they were happy to sort it out!

    The rooms were huge! The communal bathrooms were really clean and locked to limit the amount of people using them. The hostel had a cool vibe. Would definitely stay again!

    Not much to say here except that the shower pressure wasn’t great and it’s worth noting that the town centre felt a bit far away but the walk was nice and felt safe even at night time.

    Kitchen was very well equipped and spacious, our room was clean with a comfy bed and a small sink which was useful. All communal areas had a great atmosphere, there were free activities and the staff were really lovely.

    Super friendly staff at this wonderfull hostel just across the street from Belongil Beach. It’s located a bit far away from town (if you want to walk), but they have a free shuttlebus service that runs every hour from 8am-9:30pm to bring you to/pick you up from the busstation. Nice room with comfy bed and shower (got a free upgrade upon arrival). Great that they organize several weekly events (bbq, trip to lighthouse) and the option to rent bicycles or surfboards. Added bonus is the Treehouse cafe/bar next door (thumbs up for the relaxing tunes by the DJ on site). Would have stayed longer if I had more time :)

    there was just a lack of communication between staff regarding my account. I had payed with the NSW vouchers and they forgot to redeem one of the vouchers. i thought this was sorted on check in then on check out the lady asked me to pay a balance so I had to explain again the whole story. but beside that it was a lovely stay.

    staff are very nice, smiling all the time especially Augustina and Carolina. I had the private room which was serviced every day, fresh towels everyday, shared toilets were clean most of the day, they actually care about cleanliness. The shuttle to town was great, walking distance to Belongil Beach, and the bar next door TreeHouse do great food and coffee.

    The bunk beds needed some extra cleaning. The shuttle bus was nice but there was one driver who drove a bit recklessly.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Free surfboard hire. Free shuttle bus to the city every hour. Lighthouse tour and yoga was nice. Good facilities at the hostel. Except the Wi-Fi which wasn’t good. Clean toilets and showers.

    Nothing!

    This hostel is one of the best we’ve stayed in. it’s clean, comfy, has a great vibe and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. They regularly clean the kitchen and bathrooms throughout the day and every morning come round to offer clean towels and to hoover your room! We stayed in a private room which had a little sink in it which we found to be a nice touch! The beds were comfy, the linen was clean. they had a good variety of social activities that were organised by the hostel. The kitchen was clean and had lots of space too and seating areas. The location was perfect, the hostel ran free shuttles all day into the evening. Overall a great hostel! Would highly recommend!

    Shuttle bus was a little unreliable when we were there, but it’s free so can’t complain really

    Clean bathrooms, good kitchen and nice outdoor garden space that’s good for socialising! Close to the beach - I think you can rent surfboards etc which is good. We booked a double room which was good, we liked that there was a sink in there too.

    We had a lovely stay. Loved the morning yoga classes, the sunrise walk on the lighthouse, the free shuttle to the city and many other things the hostel offered. Very comfy, peaceful, and clean. The beach in front of the hostel and the Tree House restaurant next door was the cherish of one of the best places I stayed in my life.
