    The location is stunning and easy to find, wonderful views. Wayne was kind and welcoming - I'd forgotten how friendly YHAs are. The common room was cosy. Really quiet after 22:00 and I had a amazing 8 hour sleep!

    location good, rooms clean and fit for purpose. Lounge could do with comfier chairs, and self catering kitchen is small. But all in all a good stay.

    Gorgeous location and very helpful staff. My friend and I had a room with 2 sets of bunk beds, which was great as we could have a bottom bunk each! (Both over 60!) Plenty of crockery etc in the kitchen. Slept well, but then it was a quiet night...

    We were glad there was any affordable accommodation in the NP. It is next to the trail, so you won’t miss it. The food is good (they do both breakfast and dinner) and reasonably priced.
