Brilliant place to stay when visiting Port Macquarie for a few days…Emma checked us in at 1am after stepping off the bus, and couldn’t have been nicer through the stay.

“Friendly and easy going place.”
Many happy and easy going staff members, mostly Maddy. Friendly place that looks alike a chalet for having fun. The hostel accepts older travelers. No camera and curiously we feel that everybody is honest ... even the doors of the rooms are often open. It is clean and the people are really cleaning their dishes.
