BUG review
This is a cheerful hostel just south of the town centre. It features a large, cosy TV lounge with a pool table, and a clean fully-equipped kitchen. Shared rooms are well maintained with good beds and nice furnishings. The bathrooms are newly refurbished, perfectly clean and with good showers. There is internet access, laundry and an outside common area with a barbecue and a big backyard. Management are caring and friendly, and the atmosphere is easygoing.

We stayed at this place over Xmas when it was totally full, yet didn't seem too crowded. Managers put on a huge Xmas lunch for anyone who was around, very personable and friendly. Huge lawns and plenty of space to just relax and veg out. Everything very clean, lots of barbeques and atmosphere . All up one of the best backpackers experiences we've had!
