This is quite a small hostel. It's comfortable, but the communal areas seem a bit stretched for the number of guests. The internet was out of order when I was there and reception is only manned for a few hours each day.

My wife and I just got back from a 3 week vacation in Australia. We stayed at a mixture of places including Hotels and Hostels as we visited Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Tasmania and Airlie Beach. Narrara's was our least favorite place we stayed at. There were bugs in the hostel (my wife has the bites to prove it), our mattress had a mouse hole burrowed into it and the women's bathroom had broken glass in one of the showers. The free email was nice but it was hard to get to (would be better if people signed up for computer time). I think the place could be really nice if Nigel took more pride in his building and made it a little more clean and inviting. I would try someplace else.

Claustrophobic, overcrowded, unfriendly, rabbit warren. Bathrooms barely adequate for the number of guests cramped into the tiny rooms across 4 levels. Unhelpful and frankly, a bit of a strange fruit of an owner who seemed more intent on scamming us rather than helping and made me very uncomfortable. Would advise single women to think twice before staying here. Whilst offers free email, only good if prepared to camp out and wait a long while- just pay a few dollars at the local internet cafe. Can not understand how this place gets above one star.

A very bad Escher like building. The rooms were very cramped, not enough bathrooms for the amount of sardines, oops mean guests, crammed into the building. The kitchen, while having a large stove oven area is otherwise overcrowded with little preperation space or storage. Suprised to read other reviews saying great atmosphere as I thought there was none. The outside of the building is lovely, but like a book don't judge this hostel by its cover.

i stayed here last year and found it the best hostel i have ever stayed in. Nigel the owner is very friendly and knows tasmania so well, he can advise the independent traveller on any aspect of seeing and experiencing tasmania. also all the other hostellers i met there went back several times, a good sign i think and lots of friendly people, and clean facilities made for a very enjoyable stay!

The hostel has good facilities and there is a good atmosphere. The only thing which was not so good, was the unfriendly owner. I did not feel very welcome.

Having travelled over most of Australia, I've stayed in a lot of hostels. Most are good, but Narrara is by far the winner! Excellent kitchen facilities, Whistle clean bathrooms AND free e-mail... What more could the budjet traveller want? I was surprised that it was so inexpensive. Add to that the fact that Nigel (the owner/operator) has bikes and cars to hire, at rates that wipe out the competitors, and you have a five star hostel. Keep up the fantastic service, Nigel!
