The Hostel is definitiv not a party Hostel, but for everybody else perfect. It is near the centre of Alice Springs and the location is cute! The owner of the hostel is really nice! If you want to do a trip here, first call him and he loves to give you an advise or even book it for you!

Really loved this place! Quiet hostel, fully stocked kitchen (including a rice cooker!), very helpful staff. Good place to stay for a peaceful night. None of the guests were very social, but I didn't this since I was traveling with a friend. No free internet, so it's a good way to get off the grid.

One word - 'lovely'! I felt well looked after by Wayne's sister Amanda who was covering for Wayne. She was extremely helpful when I needed to book trips plus she made me feel right at home. This place had a proper backpacker's vibe to it.

Me and my friend really liked this hostel. Best place to stay this far in Australia! Staff and atmosphere were fantastic. Alice Springs itself was not so nice place to stay but we still enjoyed our time there. Room was clean and big, aircon worked really well, wifi was good and cheap and I really liked the swimming pool in the backyard.

Really good value for money. Our double room was basic but clean and comfortable. Only a 10 min walk into town. Nice pool. The owner, Rosco, is a really friendly bloke and was helpful. Would highly recommend for the budget conscious.
