This hostel barely meets the most basic standards of accommodation. The facilities are minimal and poorly maintained - expect unreliable hot water, worn-out mattresses, and bathrooms that could use a thorough deep clean.

Great ocean views too and removed from the centre of town, which I always like. Only thing I could fault was the gentle man speaking on the phone next door until midnight, the walls are VERY thin,...
