BUG review
The Blue Heeler is a big old building in the town centre with a big kitchen, TV lounge, games room with table tennis and a big balcony that looks over the main street. It is pretty clean but parts of the hostel need a bit of work.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
Price Dorm bed $20 Double room $30-40 Twin room $30 Prices are in local currency and are inclusive of all taxes.
Maybe the best memories I have of a hostel in Australia, it is filled with discarded furniture and has hallways and staircases that take days to understand. Great work provided and reasonable prices. Off of the main house, smaller private rooms are available overlooking the courtyard and large meeting place after work on the balcony overlooking the main street. Full of character and somehow inspirational, the Blue Heelers Guesthouse was difficult to leave.

The folks at the Blue Heeler are very friendly and always leave a light on for arriving guests (even at 3 am). There is plenty of room in the kitchen and entertainment rooms for all the guests and a spacious backyard is often used for cookouts. Say hi to the dog, Maggie, when you drop by.
