The Experience

We are small backpackers hostel in the vibrant town of Port Macquarie, half way between Sydney and Byron Bay.. Life here gives you the chance to lead or take part to many activities such as sunrise surfing, coastal walks, heading to the pub for live music or nightly socials around the hostel and much more. We also like when our volunteer interact with guests and are not scared to socialize with strangers :)

I had the best time at the hostel! Sarah and Mathilde are the sweetest. The job is easy and only for 3 hours a day. Then you can enjoy your day, using the pool or the ping pong table, or go to the beach with the other volunteers. I would definitely come back if I can!
