BUG Review
Orana Lodge (formerly Dulwich Hill YHA) caters mostly to long term guests who stay here on their working holiday. It consists of a beautiful old Victorian-style building and a newer annex. Amenities include a big kitchen, Internet access and a TV lounge with a pool table. Its inconvenient location in the inner western suburbs means that it is a long bus ride to get anywhere.
Price Dorm bed $21.50 Single room $43.50 Double room $65 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
Pros:
Nice manager...and confy beds.
Cons:
Dirty kitchen, filthy bathrooms, no lift, smoke all over

Yuck!!!...the room and linen were clean, but window too small. Good size room and confy beds but too hot even in May. Kitchen so disgusting we gave up on cooking. Seems like a lot of people is living there which doesn't make a cool atmosphere . Smoke is allowed everywhere so its smelly. Internet toooooo slow and not all comps were working properly. Don't let yourself fooled by the pics on the website...thats is just a nice house but thats the front desk area.. the rest is in this brickwall building. Creepy.
Try somewhere else.
Pros:
Friendly atmosphere, cheap - great while you're working.
Cons:
Some of the rooms could do with an up-date

I loved this place. If you're looking for somewhere a bit quiet and without hoards of drinking, partying, teenage backpackers then I would recommend you check it out. I stayed for 3 months while saving to continue my trip and will be back at Christmas.
