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 !

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel ! I stayed just under two months and met the most amazing people. The beach is right the hostel doorstep and the city has everything you need. I would definitely recommend :)

I've had an amazing time here, from the very first moment Pippa picked me up at the busstation I felt like home straight away! It was my first time doing hostel work and I am glad I did it here, it is very agreeable work that you have to do and not too difficult at all. The hours of work you have to do are a very good exchange for accomodation. Because you're working with other volunteers it really brings the group feeling to a higher level. I stayed here almost 2 months but it felt like 2 weeks. The time goes fast in the hostel, especially in the hostel! Thank you Pippa!
