Port Campbell Hostel

As our way of saying thanks for booking with us, we are providing the person who books from this site with 30 minutes of FREE WiFi. (With no strings attached! To claim your free WiFi, simply book your bed from this site, then ask for your Wifi voucher when you check in. Could not be easier!)

Our 2 year old hostel is located in the heart of Port Campbell (pop. 400), at the western end of the famous Great Ocean Road. We are a really easy 10-minute drive from some of the most spectacular and popular coastal attractions in Australia - The Twelve Apostles; Loch Ard Gorge; London Bridge; The Bay of Islands; (etc) - and sit smack-bang in the middle of an area that offers loads to see for those guests motivated to get out there and get personal with mother nature!

The hostel consistently ranks on hostelworld.com as one of the top-10 hostels in Australia and, in particular, rates as one of the cleanest hostels in the country.

Our reception desk is manned to reflect the usual flow of travellers on the Great Ocean Road: from 5.00pm until around 8.00pm each night, and 8.00am-10.00am for check-out.

In addition to living next door to what can be - arguably - one of the most spectacular sunset experiences in Australia at the Twelve Apostles, the surrounding area provides the opportunities to get into a range of outdoor activities suiting the young (or young at heart)... especially during the summer months!

Take a boat tour to grab the chance to see the Twelve Apostles from sea level (when conditions permit).

Or dive onto one of the 15 wrecks along the immediate coastline.

Or if you love golf, our area provides a couple of cracker jack golf courses.

Or if you are into mountain biking, see our reception about a couple of MTB trails in the area. (And we have MTBs available to rent at very reasonable prices.)

If you like surfing, Port Campbell is home to one of the biggest waves in Australia - a 40 foot monster that swells up around March and April every year. There is also a gentler wave just east of Port Campbell Bay, and heaps of great surfing breaks dotted all along the coastline.

We are pretty proud of this stretch of coastline and welcome you, from wherever you call home, to Port Campbell, and our hostel to experience this neck of the woods, for yourselves.

If you book a bed through this site, PLEASE read the email hostelworld will soon send to you. It does a few things... like confirm your booking; reinforce the Terms and Conditions (Ts and Cs) related to your booking AND provide some local tips that just might come in handy. (For instance, it outlines the opening hours of the fuel and grocery outlets in town. (Port Campbell is a tiny sea-side village, and some local businesses do not trade for as long as you may expect.) It comments about mobile telephone reception in the district (TAKE NOTE: the Vodaphone network has no reception in Port Campbell) and provides information about a brilliant cliff-face walk that starts from the Port Campbell beach.

We know that reading that email is not compulsory, but it does provide valuable local knowledge if you want to make the most of your time in Port Campbell, and this part of Australia.

Finally, only info in that message prefixed with PCH was prepared by our hostel. Any content NOT prefixed with PCH did not come from the hostel.
