Dewi M.
I loved being able to get away from the party crowd. The backpackers in the hostels across the street were partying, but I could escape them here. This place is quiet compared with the others, and it's a beautiful, cozy spot to stay. It's not a dry hostel, so you can drink on the property if you want. I highly recommend it.

The owner and receptionist were great, and the hostel was really clean. It’s in a handy spot too, with a couple of pubs and a convenience store right across the street, and town about a five-minute walk away. Beautiful place. I’d come back as soon as I can 🤙

The owners were so lovely, and I really liked the outdoor area with its fairy lights. This little hostel is right in the town center and feels homey and cozy. It may not be the fanciest place I’ve stayed, but it has everything you need. I’d definitely return.

There’s a lovely covered deck up top with views towards the seafront, plus three kitchens and different spots to lounge. It’s a fun, quirky place with lots of little nooks and crannies. The owners are friendly, and you can walk along the beachfront into town in about ten minutes.

Had a good night's sleep here. It’s a quiet, clean backpacker with a great house, lots of little kitchens and living rooms, and an outdoor lounge where you can have a drink. Our host was really friendly and kept the house running smoothly and efficiently.
