BUG review
This hostel mainly caters to people on a working holiday. As such, the dorms are a complete wreck and the bathrooms are dirty. The common room is a funky old shed with knick knacks and flags scattered around the walls. The kitchen is surprisingly clean and well equipped, but still aging. The owners provide a real family atmosphere, and if you are here for temporary work, this is a great place to meet others doing the same.

This was by far The best Hostel in Australia. At first impressions i thought average, but the atmoshpere the Guys running it, Matt (and his parents for a bit) were just brilliant. Very safe hostel, lovely location and specialise in finding work for you. Couldn't of had a better time.
