Charming stay

Quirky and charming living room and bedroom. Like stepping back to the 60s in the best possible way. Bed were comfortable and enjoyed the communal kitchen even though we had a little kitchenette. I would stay again.

Old but comfy

It was cheap! And we had a car, so it was easy to get to. Everything was (very) old, but clean enough. The bed was comfy, and the beds had electric blankets. Bryan was very welcoming.

Very good value budget accommodation, friendly hoast, worth a try 😀

The hoast was very engaging and accommodating, we happened to forget to bring butter with us, which would have spoiled our breakfast, the hoast was kind enough to let us have his own butter from his own kitchen

Idyllic spot to stay

Great personal attentive service, quiet, beautiful location, very comfy, and with a rustic, retro West Coast vibe. It feels remote, historic and forgotten. Loved it here

Good value, rustic.

An old pub now a backpackers lodge. Think 100 years old building. Rooms were clean and kitchen was one of the best equipped we came across. A variety of guests who were good company and no noise at night. The owner couldn’t be more helpful. Open fireplace was great. Excellent value.

Can't get much better value for money - great location on the west coast, with a good kitchen and really helpful/friendly hosts. Good night's sleep, very quiet and comfortable.

Affordable Backpackers

Upon arrival, we found parking at the rear and entered through the back door to access our booked room. This is a well-organized, small backpackers with a kitchen that covers all the basic essentials. We stayed for one night and felt the room was fair for the price. The shared lounge and kitchen feature a cozy wood burner, and the owners are incredibly friendly—they even offered my husband a beer! The location is excellent for exploring the Brunner Mine Historic Area, which is an easy walk (less than 1km one way) and rich with coal mining history.
