Hostel was clean, room was very basic, but did have a TV. Kitchen was on the small side. There was zero atmosphere. Fine for an overnight stay, but any longer than that would be a struggle for anyone who wants the social side of a hostel.

LOVED this hostel. Shane the manager was an absolute Legend! Helped me book tours, suggested things I could do around town that were free, and convinced me to do my first Skydive. Amazing and 1000% recommend. Also very accommodating as I had to move my booking by one day. Great hostel, staff was excellent.

Mel, one of the owners is a real gem! She is really interested in your well being, and really genuine. She offered me a ride to the lake, when it appeared that shuttles only drove there if there were at least 2 people to pick up (I was alone). Very nice place to stay!

Really enjoyed my stay, the owner couldn't do enough to ensure my stay was good, including bring out chips to share etc at around midnight. the room was clean and tidy, would recommend it to anyone staying at Fox

The new owners are doing an excellent job. Very helpful and I am sure that in time they will have it all running very smoothly. Possible room of improvement is in the kitchen, pots and pans and possibly creating more space when the freezer moves out. Lovely and comfortable beds. Thank you very much.
