A good standard hostel in Coffs Harbour. A good introduction involving seeing the sites of the area. Clean rooms and dated but clean bathrooms, nice communal areas. They had a Mexican food night when we were there which was really cheap and really good. They also had a good book-swap. Good, clean pool. My only 'moan' would be that the... More

Having been their in off peak season I enjoyed the fact that it was not very crowded and you could relax at the pool or in their hammocks in the sun. Our double room was great value (60$) but was basic - a comfy bed but no extras like lockers, fridge or so. Not a big deal. We were picked... More

Nice friendly hostel, bit of a walk to shops and beach. Pet porpoise pool is brilliant! Big kitchen but few cooking hobs. Nice pool/BBQ area. Stayed in double room-very small and no lockers. More

This hostel is small and friendly with bright colours and a great atmosphere. There is a big kitchen and an area with a tv and lots of films. The staff are really helpful and will take you down to the river with a canoe for free. the only two negatives I have is one - that the hostel is off... More

I stayed for about 5 days in this hostel and it was not too bad. A lot of people that stayed at the hostel had a working holiday visa, so they stayed there for a while. This resulted in people forming groups, because they knew each other for a while. The first night I placed some food on top of... More

Wasn't expecting much from Coffs harbour but I loved this place! Free shuttle was waiting for us when we arrived and we went up to a viewpoint where they told us about what we could do during our stay! Lots more to do than I thought and lots of the things are cheap! Bonus! Surf lessons are the cheapest I've... More

I have stayed in so many places that don't have lockers but this one did. The hostel was generally ok but there isn't a lot to do in Coffs. All the hostels are located around a 40 minute from the centre of town. The shuttle bus is a welcome service from the bus stop. The hostel is close to the... More

Stayed at this hostel one night. Had trouble finding the hostel as there was a sign pointing in the wrong direction that led us astray. We phoned to let reception know we'd be 15 minutes late. They stayed open the extra 15 minutes which was appreciated, but were very grumpy with us, informing us that making sure the signs were... More
