“The staff make this place phenomenal :)”
I had probably the best hostel experience I've ever had staying at YHA Thredbo - the staff (Charlie and Stef) were so incredibly accomodating, it just made it an awesome experience! I'd been hiking mammoth days and they did so many things to help accomodate my needs and make my stay enjoyable. Thank you so much both!
