Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great place to stay. Only booked for 3 nights but stayed for 8! Amazing staff and great food too. Owners are relatively new but were very kind and friendly and also took the time out to get to know their guests which doesn't happen often in other places. Met lots of nice people too and it is in a great location just off the main road!

    Staff was great and the food was amazing, but it was highly over priced for the region. I would not stay there again since there are better options for much cheaper in the area. One night stay was enough. It's a shame because it's a beautiful hotel.
