Port Macquarie Backpackers
Our hostel is a family run hostel. We pride ourselves on the connections we make with guests and staff. If our staff are happy, we will have happy guests too! The hostel is clean and well maintained.
We treat all our staff and volunteers like they're part of the family. We like them to get to know our beautiful town and socialise together and with our guests. We really encourage everyone too be part of the team!

About the experience in: Port Macquarie, Australia
United States
Ben and Monique offer a relaxing hostel for you to enjoy on the coast of Eastern Australia! Port Macquarie is a very small town but has a good heart to it, the people who live in the city are of the older crowd and are mostly retired. There is a good surf community as Port offers multiple beaches that have quite a few breaks, the hostel offers surfboards but some of them need their fins fixed. The hostel is located at the top of the town and the town is extremely walkable! Nice quiet place to enjoy the coastline of Eastern Australia that I recommend, not a rowdy town or hostel at all.

I had an amazing experience at Port Macquarie Backpackers! The work is manageable and fair, with around 2 hours of work every day. The hostel is a beautiful old house that quickly feels like home. But what made my experience so memorable was the people - Ben is a great host, friendly, funny and welcoming. I also made some amazing friends, that quickly became like my family, in the other staff and guests! I would highly recommend this worldpacker experience for any backpackers who are looking to experience a slower, more relaxed aussie lifestyle!

I had a truly lovely 4 week stay here. I met some amazing fellow travelers, especially lots of girls I really clicked with and had so much fun with. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, it genuinely feels like a little family living together in a small house. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment
