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.

    The seafront location. The friendly atmosphere. The comfortable mattress. The chatty manager, Arthur. It's rather like an old style youth hostel, with the friendly vibe and the alcohol ban, but without the other YHA restrictions.

    Great location, short walk up to Bluff Hill lookout. We stayed in the cottage which was lovely, great decor and comfortable with Netflix and an excellent shower. The owner is a talented baker so her baked goods made breakfast each morning a real treat!
