We spent one very special night at this wonderful location. A stones throw from the beach. We stayed in the onsuit cabin which was small but so comfy. We had a wonderful night and woke early to watch the sun rise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be backRooms: 5/5
Location is perfect for a gateway, when you want that fresh air and to hear the ocean on your dream s while sleeping, waking up from a sound of singing birds, eating your breakfast while watching the ocean waves splashing on each other. This is a lovely place with a bar on site, and a bit of music to keep your mind occupied if you are that kind of person, snooker on site and safe too. Safety: Gates are locked at night, and has security system in place. Walkability: Place is located near the beach, plenty of sand to walk on, or open roads for jogging. Noteworthy details: Place is good for economy, but not luxury if you know what I mean.
The bar is very pricey, drink specials are special as they are more expensive than other places normal drinks. Sorry guy's. But the outside fire area is lovely.Service: 1/5
Was only there for a event, so I can't say anything about service or about the roomsLocation: 4/5
It's a very laid back setup, nothing fancy but enough space to accommodate a fair amount of people for a party, did attend such a party. Liquor prices are a bit pricey but still acceptable
To say im underwhelmed would be an understatement - there is no lighting outside in the evenings and the place generally looks way different from the pics peovided on the website. Most importantly, i had someone from the establishment help themselves tomy carefully sealed food. Is this part of the “communal” feature of the backpackers? Highly annoying
We were there just this past weekend with our hiking club. On the second night, three of our members had criminals enter into their tents and three cellphones were stolen while the members were sleeping. Reporting this to management was a clear waste of time as the owner was only concerned with evading responsibility after her manager clearly lied to her about what he informed us regarding "petty theft" in the area. On the 3rd night these criminals attempted to steal our items while we were still seated around the fire and were comfortable enough to even come back three more times during the same evening. Do not, I repeat do not take up accommodation here unless you wish to part ways with your valuables or worse still, get hurt because when that happens, you will not get any assistance from those responsible at this establishment.
I personally, including our hiking club members had terrible weekend over there... The place doesn't have full time guards like backpackers we've been to before and as the result we got mugged from our tents and attempts were made for the ones in the cabins. Lot of cellphones were stolen from us and the Stop Backpackers staff didn't even bother to tell us about such incidents when the booking was made and when we got there. The owner of the place didn't even care about what happened but she just wanted us to do lots of activities that would have dried our pockets... For people like us who like backpacking I'd never give such a place a greenlight as they don't have proper space for tents, no proper cctv's, inadequate lighting and no outside plugs for campers. The manager of the place would take his time before he reacts especially when beamers detected dodgy movements before he turn the alarms off but The Lazer Response Team kept on showing up and that calmed us a bit. Hemanager had terrible attitude and kept defending himself even if he is wrong, he further went on delegate his girlfriend to perform certain tasks and that was extremely wrong. To top the things up we were even offered terrible breakfast on Friday the 18th... So if you are a hikers and you value your money as well as your safety that much you wouldn't set your feet there, otherwise one would become a victim.
This is hands down the most relaxed and least concerned easiest and most enjoyable hostel I have ever stayed at. Free use of surfboards, body boards, paddle boards gives this wonderful place a huge bonus. The fire pit is available to any one and as long as you understand how to respect others in this social environment I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay right on the beach, relax, and enjoy a good time. Great place to stay and enjoy the beach and sun.
A rustic dwelling at the foot of the waters edge. 2 dorm rooms for bigger groups adjoining which is convenient if 2 groups are together, a little wooden standalone cottage for a romantic and private stay, and 2 rooms that are part of the main communal structure one double room and one with 4 single beds - great for a family. Licensed bar and a beautiful garden that is kitten up in the evenings with a bonfire. Lovely for kids and for a beach stay on the South Coast. Also great to book out for a celebration if there is a large group.
