BUG Review
Strahan Backpackers is comprised of several cabins with accommodation in small dormitories. It features a common room with a TV and a fully-equipped kitchen plus a courtyard barbecue area. The hostel has a bush setting but is still within walking distance to the town centre. It is not a bad hostel but it is expensive for what you get.

Price
Dorm bed $35
Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.

Reviewer: lizzyb322 from Hobart, Tasmania

Pros: It has an outdoorsy atmosphere
Cons: Common room/lounge area was outdated (really old couches)

My partner and I stayed in a double room over labour day weekend. The room wasn't huge, but had a double bed, desk, plus a sofa/day bed with extra bedding and towels in the wardrobe. The toilets and showers are shared by everyone (no en suites available), but were never crowded and seemed to be cleaned every morning. It is no longer a YHA, but is a backpackers/Cosy Cabins, to there were a wide range of people...from younger backpackers to old biker dudes. Our room was part of a cabin split into 3 rooms with separate entrances. You can also get a separate A-frame cabin. I think they have rooms with bunk beds as well. The double room was $65 a night. There are 2 kitchens, both with TVs, and one has a lounge room too, but the couches are falling apart. It is close to the supermarket, but about a 15 minute walk into town. I recommend the World heritage boat cruise, the 4WD bike tour on henty sand dunes, and Banjos for breakfast (all you can eat toast for $1.75).
