BUG review
This place is definitely more of a retreat than a backpackers. Do not come here expecting cleanliness or a party atmosphere. For that matter, don’t even expect to have four walls. Dorms are set up in an eccentric range of accommodation including an old wagon and an open theatre stage. There is also a mountain hut, a love shack, and an Indonesian-themed room. When it rains, expect mud. That said, the owner of this place is caring and compassionate, and looks after things in his own way. It is not for everyone, but if you don’t mind roughing it, this place might be the authentic and rustic experience you are looking for.

Went there on my own, with the free pick up shuttle this hostel had from Byron. As there were only a few people in there, everyone was really friendly, and we ended up in the common 'room'(a covered 'hallway' to the dorms) chilling out for the night... worth the visit
