“Grest stay”
I had a really great time here. Live music and good pizzas and cheap wine. What more could you want?? And a brilliant view of the beach and so close to it. Yes, it's a bit more pricey than the other hostels around but I think it's worth the money for the view abd atmosphere. Soooo chilled.

“Great hostel close to the beach”
Great hostel, very close to the beach! There is an onsite cafe/bar/restaurant, the staff were super helpful and recommended nice hikes and activities, there is a very well sized parking just in front of the hostel. Walking to the center of Wilderness takes some time, but is nothing to worry about. The views from my room were amazing! I recommend this hostel if you are in Wilderness!

The location of the hostel is amazing! And the view from the hostel dorm room is out of this world! They were doing some renovations while I was there but that didn’t bother too much. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere at the hostel is fantastic!
