BUG review
Red Kettle is in a small cosy house. It has a common room with a log fire, lots of books and games and big comfy sofas. The kitchen is small and a bit run down, but it is well equipped and there are laundry facilities and internet access ($6 per hour).The dorms are extremely clean, with made-up beds and bedside lamps. Some are themed – we especially like the sheep room. There are gardens outside and it is not far from the town centre.

I liked this hostel. It is small and has a friendly atmosphere. It it reasonably close to the beach and local shops. I really enjoyed seeing the pengins at a nearby beach. The hostel is like a home and a lovely place to relax for a while
