BUG review
This is an excellent purpose-built hostel. You have to walk up a long dirt track to get there, but it is worth it. The dorms are painted in warm colours and have made-up beds. Facilities include a brilliant fully-equipped kitchen; a nice common room with comfy sofas and lots of books; laundry; internet access; spacious bathrooms and a huge veranda that affords gorgeous views of the ocean. It has a quiet atmosphere and the owners are very welcoming and friendly.

Hi David,I am Marjolein from Holland and I have been your quest during newyears eve 200-2001. I just remembered how sad I was on newyears day, not being able to be with my parents. And you were so great to let me use your phone to ring them. Later on, you trusted me not to pay cash (for the room) but to give me your accountnumber, so I was allowed to pay you later. But, I completely forgot afterwards. Sorry for that. Untill this morning. I suddenly realised! Please mail me your accountnumber (for I've lost it over the years), cause I would like to pay you afterall.Many thanks,Marjolein
