With a maximum of only 63 guests we are not a party hostel and have a quiet time/no drinking time from 10.30 pm to allow guests to get a good nights sleep.
However,the free dinners at the Woolshed Pub will help save you money and let you party till late.

I had an awesome week at this hostel. So many friendly people there. Apparently it's under new management and are slowly making a few improvements (beds, gardens as far as I can see). Nice pool and community area. Tropical feel. Definitely budget but it had everything I needed. Free internet! and air conditioning in the dorms was free too. I booked a couple of tours and they gave me a discount. The staff are very kind and helpful. Would stay again.
Room Tip: I stayed in a 6 share and it was very good
