Had booked a 2 day tour with Southern Exposures so was recommended to stay here - great place, all cabins are spread out, had a double room en suite to myself with balcony - very nice. No TV in room though. Kitchen etc small but enough as not many people there, really friendly place, people on reception knew their stuff and as they run the trips it was easy in the morning to just walk to reception and off you go. Left main rucksack with them and they delivered it to the cafe the next day which was great of them. They even returned my sunglasses which i left in my life jacket when Kayaking - so big thank you to returning those. Only downer is that its 3k out of the village so ensure you have all your food / drink with you else you will be out of cups of tea if you are english like me! Also a big upward driveway to get up and i went by "K bus" (big mistake) and they wouldnt drive me up there - no fault of the hostel of course!!! Definately recommended if doing a trip with these guys. The dorms looked pretty good too.
