What I didn't like is the lecture of all the rules, the problem their smoke alarms have that can go off with steam from shower and you must pay $1500 Fire Service call out. Strict rules with no glass bottles at all on site. Everything closes as 9:30pm. At 9:30pm you have three options after being kicked out of the common area, being 1. Leave the backpackers 2. Go to your room or 3. Hang out in the kitchen on you dorm floor without table and chairs and with balcony doors locked. Even NYE lock up and shut up 9:30pm. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Walking distance to most of the local attractions ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Quite at night close to town Amenities were pretty dirty ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 3, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Nov 13, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Bit dated, but good value, safe and friendly staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Masela Sep 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Masela Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Taso, Sydney Aug 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great and fun place Nice Hostel, close to the beach, Saturday night free BBQ's are so much fun, ##### Taso Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### brenda, queensland local Jul 4, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The weather was cold and wet so was the room.....the sheets were so damp I couldn’t use them.
