Expérience très agréable ! Je me suis sentie un peu comme dans une petite famille avec les autres volontaires. Certaines règles peuvent paraître un peu rudes parfois mais contribuent à la tranquillitée de l'établissement.
Bon endroit pour une première expérience australienne et améliorer son anglais.

A very pleasant experience! I felt a bit like I was part of a small family with the other volunteers. Some of the rules can seem a little harsh at times, but they contribute to the tranquility of the facility. A good place for a first Australian experience and to improve your English.

Staying here was a great way to start my time in Australia! Pippa and the other volunteers were friendly and welcoming from the start, and I felt at home here very quickly. The hostel is very comfortable and clean, and the location is great, right next to the beach and shops etc. The work is reasonable, just a few hours in the morning cleaning the rooms, and then every few days another 40 mins or so in the evening to clean the kitchen. Pippa has high standards with the work, but once you get up to speed it's totally fine!

My experience here was amazing and enriching in many aspects! I learnt new skills, I met wonderful people and I enjoyed incredible places. The hostel is beautiful, comfortable, clean and tidy. Best kitchen ever. The work is fair and well distributed among all the volunteers. Pippa greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome from my first to my last day. Thank you for everything!

This experience allowed me to improve my English by meeting other travelers and also by living with the other volunteers.

Pippa is a caring person who pays attention to the well-being of the people in the hostel. Sure, the work may look strict, but it ensures the safety of the people in the hostel. It's also possible to arrange work in the hostel if required, for work or travel purposes.

I would like to thank all the people I met in this hostel, with whom I had a great time !
