BUG review
This small hostel has only 20 beds, which ensures a friendly and intimate atmosphere and it is clean and well maintained. The kitchen doesn’t have the fanciest equipment, but it’s spotless and an easy place to cook. The hostel also has the usual laundry, internet access and barbecue plus a comfortable TV lounge.

We've stayed in many hostels in Australia and when compared to NZ the Auzzie hostels are not very nice EXCEPT for this one. It is the cleanest and nicest one we've stayed in yet. It is not large. It's location is central to the hiking trails, ocean beaches, wineries etc. Had a very refreshing holiday from this place.

One of my favourites and in one of the nicest parts of Australia. A laid back and relaxed atmosphere, as different from a certain Walpole hostel as could be.

Blue Wren Backpackers has a friendly and relaxing atmosphere ,with brand new facilities including clean bathrooms, hot showers,a laundry and a well equipt kitchen. It provides free tea and coffe, a worm fire in winter, internrt access, a lounge with a t.v ,and a public phone. It is close to town wich i found very convenient. Graham the Owner is very friendly and is always willing to help you with any infomation you need , or just a friendly chat. I really enjoyed my stay, and found that i hadn't had such a good nights sleep in a long time. I highly reccomend that you stay a night here you won't regret it.
