We enjoy a beautiful riverside setting, just a two minute drive (or ten minute walk) from the centre of town and a two minute drive to our rugged west coast beach. Doubles, twins, singles, as well as shared dormitories. All rooms have fully made-up beds with fresh linen and cozy duvets, and are beautifully
decorated with a Global Art theme. Full Central Heating throughout the hostel. We have a seperate TV lounge with extensive (free) movie collection and lots of quiet spaces if you need to escape. The showers are always hot, the kitchen always clean, the beds comfortable, the rooms quiet and spacious, and you can always count on good company and a great atmosphere.
