Management was very flexible with our numerous delays of staying, due to last minute Gov't snap lock downs... Once when we finally came, we received upgrade for free. The place was reasonably clean, room was comfy and hostel itself is in great location. Would recommend it

Stayed there for 4 months in a private room. The owners Gary and Cherie were lovely and very accommodating. The hostel is clean, free surfboard hire and is a good price. Thank you for making my stay really nice, I would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Awful experience staying at this hostel. We were literally screamed at by the man working in the evening when we arrived, we just asked to finish cooking our food for another 10 minutes after 10PM and we were very respectful, not making noise. See previous review by Alex, I was traveling with him. The staff in the morning hours were much nicer, but unfortunately they have yet to get rid of the rotten egg working evening shift.

Pretty average place to stay. Free hire of kayaks etc which is good. Also the lady at reception was so so beyond lovely, the man on the other hand, very much the opposite. Shower heads desperately need replacing, also super easy to have some more shower hooks in the showers also. Don't think the showers or toilets were cleaned while I stayed there, as the hair was still in the same place two days later in the showers. Mattress covers + pillow protectors also don't seem like they are cleaned. Just overall not very clean. But if you can get past that, it's not too bad to stay at!
