    Such a unique hostel. The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful. There are NO BUNK BEDS which was amazing plus you have a fridge in your room. Lots of things to do like the cinema room, swimming pool, pool table and ping pong. Very fast free internet, quickest i seen in Australia. The building is not the newest but its everything you need. Private bathrooms! Air conditioning is paid but cheap. Oven in the kitchen, outdoor kitchen aswell. Highly recommended!…
