"Lives true to the spirit of backpacking hostels."

Ross has nurtured a wonderful community vibe at the place. the people that come to the Flying Fox were a joy to connect with. Activities like pasta night and encouragement to socialise (ofcourse in the common areas) made it a wonderful experience to stay at the lodge.

Really cute homey feeling, lovely staff and lots of information available about hikes etc in the area! The free breakfast was a nice addition and we loved getting a little cuddle from the cat.

Everything was lovely! The only thing that could have made it even better was if there were more bathrooms to avoid waiting.
