Access to the building and room via Goki App, rather than a swipe card or key. Staff try to organise multiple events to occur each week for guests.
Suzanna “GREAT LOCATION & HOSTEL”

I was lucky enough to have the room to myself. The room was very roomy with a good-sized locker. The air-conditioning was good. The location was good for needs. The location and room were quiet.

Ophélie “Amazing”

I've stayed in hostels in Australia, but this one was incredible. 3 months stay, quiet, (very) clean, staff always willing to help. I can't wait for it to reopen in June if I'm still around. 100% recommended
Annelie “Relaxing stay”
28 Jan 2025
Great location and good value for money. Free barbecue with delicious food once a week. Very calm and relaxing - didn’t feel „crowded“ but comfortably spread out. You could mingle but you didn’t have to - not as social as other hostels.
Lisa “Overall stay was good but needs more cleaning. Great location.”
28 Jan 2025
Stayed in the premium rooms and they were a really great size. Tv was good and good quality. Nice size kitchen with at least 4 cooking stations. Plenty of cutlery and plates. Nice outdoor balcony to eat dinner and watch the world go by. They have a cook up every Sunday night which was really great. Free food and enough for everyone to get at least 2 sausages. The premium bathrooms were nice and modern too. Location is great. Everything walking distance. 2min walk to Woolies.
