    If you enjoy being surrounded by nature, this is your hostel. There are wallabies and possums everywhere on the premises and all kinds of cool birds as well.

    Great bathroom facilities, excellent location.

    Amy L. (December 2012)

    The best YHA imaginable! With 7 acres, their own Zoo, and a great breakfast they put on in the zoo, no other hostel could possibly top this place, as the location is pristine.

    Andrew W. (July 2012)

    Very good hostel. Near the beach (Horseshoe Bay) and a bar and a couple of restaurants.
