A very good hostel, a little out of the way from the town but you have to be by the beach if you are going to be in Coff's Harbour. It's a long walk from the bus stop/town so be advised take them up on the shuttle bus from the the bus stop. Nice atmosphere, the guy who organised events was great really friendly guy.

A decent place to stay. The free kayak hire was nice.

Kitchen is a bit small but there were lockers in the room, comfy beds and a huge selection of films. Free canoes sounded good (we missed out cuz of the tide). Internet connection, though cheap, was pretty poor, but then the friendly staff did give us some extra free for our troubles. Enjoyed our stay here very much!

Best hostel on our trip so far! Were pleasantly surprised by an early morning pickup. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Instantly felt very relaxed and comfortable. Great communal area with a fantastic array of films to choose from. Everything was cleaned regularly and kitchen was nice and spacious. Only disappointing thing was when we weren't given the information we needed which made us miss an activity, however with so many other activities provided it didnt ruin our day. Canoeing a must!

Dirty, kitchen was small. Bicycle rental was very cheap and the bikes were nice. Very friendly staff.

We had a great time at aussietel. it was a very welcoming hostel with lots of opportunities to meet new people. the owners were really helpful and always available. the hostel was clean and tidy and was kept that way throughout the day. great facilities and advice on how to make the most of your stay. after booking for one week we ended up extending our stay by 3 weeks. we would definitely stay again!!!

I have been to a few better but many, many worse. You would not be disappointed staying here. I have rated it in regards to other hostels, the rooms are ok but some of the beds are a bit tired.

Hostel hasn't changed at all in over 5 years. Could do with a slight upgrade. The beds were very comfortable- and the hostel was very quiet- even though there was a lot of people staying. Hostel is good for a stop over

Honestly, best stay yet at any hostel. It was an absolute blast. The one area which was slightly negative was the cost of internet, and wifi. We just felt that something that is relatively inexpensive in this day and age could be much more inexpensive or even free. Allows people to stay in touch with family much easier and keep costs down.
