BUG Review
Cowes' YHA hostel is part of a tourist cabin park just a short walk from the centre of town. It is actually quite a good hostel and the backpackers' common areas include a kitchen; a lounge with a fireplace, pool table and internet access and a cosy bar with a great atmosphere. There is also a swimming pool in the complex. The accommodation is split between dorm rooms in an old house, which are clean but show their age; and more expensive dorms in a newer building, which are spotless and very well maintained.
Price Dorm bed $30-35 ($25-30 HI/YHA) Double/twin/family room $135 ($108 HI/YHA) Camping $15 per person Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
