Southern Laughter Backpackers

Clean, friendly staff, facilities and trips offered.

Location was central and an easy walk to anywhere

Room had holes in the walls, property seemed quite run down

The location and style

The stiffness of the mattress but the softness of the pillow and the cold rooms

The hostel had a great backpacker vibe, was easy to get around from, and offered good value for money.

The hostel was good value for money overall, and the facilities met my expectations for a budget backpackers. However, I was very disappointed by an incident involving a long-term resident staying at the property. After returning from town, this person made unwanted and inappropriate comments towards me, which led to a verbal confrontation. The situation left me feeling unsafe, and I stayed awake for much of the night as a result. While the accommodation itself was good, this experience significantly impacted my stay.

Its location was at a walking distance from the town market and the gardens

I like it because it’s nearest to the stores, no need to go to paid parking areas if you want to stay longer strolling around.
