Guest Reviews
- Adele (8/5): - Most affordable budget accommodation. I stayed in the private single and had the bathroom to myself as there was no one else in my section of the building. Staff were friendly and the overall vibe was good. Kitchen wasn't always clean but that's to be expected at a hostel.
- Cindy (9/5): -
- Chiara (7/5): - Okay for one night :)
- Helen-Marie (8/5): -
- Heather (10/5): Lovely hostel, good facilities and nice and quiet and night - Beds were very clean and comfortable. Loved the outdoor style living. Was nice and quiet at night.
- Steven (1/5): - Absolutely horrific experience..was unable to sleep and being on a long journey this is really a bad situation. Being unable to sleep in the room.
- Elena (9/5): Super freundlich! -
- Mikhail (6/5): - The price is very good Very noisy place, the walls there are made from the cupboard.

A title 43maria43..
- Georgia (8/5): Decent basic stay - Decent hostel, 10 min walk to the main town area/ town beach. Basic hostel but the staff were friendly Paper-thin walls, though curfew is 11pm so from then it was very quiet. Kitchen and communal areas were clean but could do with updating

- Stefan (7/5): Charmantes Hostel in attraktiver Lage mit schön gestaltetem Areal - Sehr charmantes Hostel in guter Lage, insgesamt sehr sauber, Check-In sehr unkompliziert über einen Automaten möglich, attraktives Areal Die Zimmer waren leider sehr hellhörig, die Türen auf dem Flur knallen mitunter sehr, wenn sie ins Schloss fallen. Ein kleines Nachtlicht im Zimmer wäre sehr zum Vorteil. Das Licht der Deckenlampe wirkt sehr kalt und grell.
- Kristina (3/5): -
- ratcliff (10/5): Excellent. Highly recommend -
- Peter Maxwell (8/5): - The kitchen had a sign on the FRONT DOOR: open 5am, closexxx
I tried AT 5, 5.30, 6 AND IT WAS ALWAYS LOCKED!!!! Very unfortunate because I had to remove my stuff from fridge before leaving!!
Then, I saw someone inside. I found another door on the side with a sign explaining how to get in after 5.
pPlease put the SIGN, THE ONE EXPLAINING HOW TO GET IN, AT THE FRONT DOOR AS WELL. Please do it!!!

Highly recommend the hostel and will be back to visit at some point!

- TURBAN (10/5): Parfait - Séjour vraiment au top ! L’auberge est très très propre, ce qui est vraiment appréciable. L’ambiance est calme, idéale pour se reposer. Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant et toujours disponible en cas de besoin. En plus, elle est très bien située, ce qui facilite les déplacements et les visites. Franchement, rien à redire, tout était parfait. Je recommande sans hésiter !
- Chalier (8/5): -
- Georgia (7/5): - Variety of facilities For the price it is what is expected.
- Jose (6/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): Great overnight stay. Nice to be working walking distance of everything. The rooms are hugely soundproofed but I would - Cute place to stay. I had a great room to myself with an en suite. A bonus when you’re an older solo traveller. The staff were lovely and helpful. Good location. Everything within walking distance. Nothing

- Sahara (7/5): Supportive, compassionate community driven multi culturally diverse All ages welcome. - The facilities a activities and the community arts n homely vibes. Open to all age groups from young to elderly. The only thing was the room I stayed in smelling of a bad odour….and the blind on the window was the only form of privacy with it completely closed at all times, which was only way n unfortunate cos the natural light was missing n hallway lights were left on all night and it wasn’t very eco conscious in the court yard n came through. Sometimes music n movies. Ended up clashing n sounded like they were competing against each other,
- Amanda (7/5): Small room. Does what it says on the tin - It was pretty cheap in a good location. The shared bathroom was in the dwelling the room was in and I think the other rooms were unoccupied when I was there (but others did use the bathroom in the morning). Also the keys process makes it very easy to not stress about when you’ll arrive if it’s late The room was small, as described. It was also pretty warm and the fan had considerable dust on the front vents. For someone who lives rurally there was a lot of light getting in the room: 3 blinds and big gaps around the door. It would be good if this could be improved. Other than that for a one night stay it was fine
- Lauren (10/5): -
- Serkan (8/5): -
- IOANNA KYRIAKI (9/5): - The people working there were super nice, it’s clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped. The communal areas are great. It was pretty hard to get anywhere without a car, though that probably applies to Port Macquarie in general.
- Victoria (8/5): Volvería - La verdad que muy cerca del centro. Una ubicación espectacular. Las instalaciones bastante comodas y grandes. Hay pileta y sala de juegos tambien. Creo que mas ideal para estancias cortas que largas Dicen que hay parking pero es muy chiquito. Asique tuvimos que estacionar en la calle. Pero no es un gran problema

- Alison (9/5): - Convenient to the event i was attending, facilities of room really great. Did not really utilise the kitchen or pool but the surrounds/ set up was really nice. Parking was not a problem. Would definitely stay again There was nothing i did not like. I did not encounter staff so can't comment on that, used the machine for key access but struggled to see, maybe a little step for the vertically challenged 🤣

- Sara (7/5): Ostello dalla bella atmosfera con camere singole carine - La mia camera singola era piuttosto pulita e in una casetta, dove erano localizzate altre due singole che usufruivano (assieme a me) di un bagno “privato”. Lo staff gentile e disponibile. Spazi comuni ampi, ben dotati e una bella piscina. La cucina comune (così come tutte le aree condivise e i bagni) viene pulita ogni giorno!
In ca. 10-15 minuti a piedi si raggiungono sia un supermercato, la stazione degli autobus e la famosa coastal walk! Una cosa che potrebbe essere implementata: l’aggiunta di una “water refill station” - in alternativa ci sono delle caraffe Brita, quindi alla fine ce la si fa comunque!
- Natalie (6/5): - Good location, staff was friendly, good price It wasn't really clear who was staff and reception closed early so it was hard to ask questions.
Biggest dislike was there was no air conditioning, which made it incredibly hot.
- Divya (8/5): - Clean and quiet space Everything was good
- Jodie (8/5): Family Friendly Atmosphere. - Well presented. Beautiful gardens and my room was lovely and cozy. Clean amenities. Trying to access the kitchen for early morning coffee and the lock system failed to open the door.
- Lucas (10/5): - Easy check-in, great facilities and great location! Staff were friendly and professional. Definitely use again.
- Terence Ting Yong (8/5): - Clean and comfortable
- Emi (9/5): -
- Rosanna (7/5): - The place is perfect for backpacking. The facilities might be a bit run down and bit unclean but it’s perfect for what I needed. I felt safe as a solo female as there was so many people around. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. The price is so go compared to others
- Karen (6/5): Close to beach accommodation with shared facilities. - Good to be close to the beach, Very noisy location both residents and passers by. So expensive, the most we have paid at a backpackers all over the world.
- Jamin (7/5): -
- Hugh (5/5): Nice place for a budget overnight stay - Good looking place, self-service key and drop off Window was a bit dodgy, and walls are paper thin. Neighbors were loud until nearly 12 when we had to get up at 5.

- Volponi (8/5): -
