Port Campbell is not a huge town, in fact its quite tiny, with one or two streets defining the towns' borders. However, it is very close to 12 Apostles and this hostel is situated conveniently for those out of towners who want to crash for the evening. It was purpose built to be a hostel. We stayed in a double-bed private room with a shared bathroom. The room was sparsely decorated with a king-size bed which was actually two twins put together. The bathrooms were immaculately cleaned.

very clean and very friendly staff, but due to some strange rules there is not at all an atmosphere in the hostel and it feels a bit sterile:(.

Great place to crash for the night, could have had two nights here to really see more of this beautiful area. Staff were real characters, thanks for taking the time to stop and chat about the area. Loved the little shop, kitchen's great, huge dining and lounge area - so nice and cool with the air con's working beautifully - a must have at this time of the year down here in in this Aussie summer. Great hostel to remember when travelling the GOR again.

My brother and me stayed ofr one night - loved the place! Decent buzz and brill' craic with other guests. HUGE open plan common area, allows you to socialize or just find your own space and chill - you decide. Brilliant and very well equipped Kitchen: well suited to the crowds using it on the night we stayed. Hostel has a cute little in-house conveniance shop/kiosk selling really, really well valued goods. Nice surprise: cheap coke and chocolate!

Excellent hostel. Excellent location. Bloody great value. The place is as clean as any hostel i have ever stayed in, and it offered every amenity I needed (tho' I apologise (again) for burning out your iron. Silly of me to try to iron my jeans). Port Campbell is located right in the middle of some classic coastal natural attractions, like the 12 Apostles and London Bridge, and the hostel is located smack bang in the middle of the town. Beautiful little bay, as well.

This hostel is by the far the cleanest and best constructed I've seen on my trip. Everything looks brand new and works perfectly. Was great to see all the eco initiatives they have. The staff are eager to help and very friendly. The guests were cool and the atmosphere was fun. Port Campbell is a lovely little town, really lucked out choosing this as a pit stop on my Great Ocean Road drive.

Good hostel - modern building with good facilities, large kitchen and open living areas. There were a couple of groups staying when we were there but didnt bother us - they had their allocated slots for dinner so worked well. The 5pm check in is quite late (the hostel is locked up to then), especially if you are there 1 night, but that is how they run the hostel - does mean it is very clean when it does open! Enjoyed our time in the area, and at the hostel

Loved the place, staff were friendly, place was very clean and facilities excellent, only thing I would recommend would be that you put lockers beside the beds that you can store your valuables. I will definitely recommend this hostel to anyone I hear doing the great ocean road.

Very clean and amenable but limited hours for hot showers should have worked but there was no hot water in the morning. Of course everyone was using them before 10am checkout, so there should have been enough to go around, but there wasn't.

This place was great for us. Facilities are wonderful, staff is kind and helpful. The little town is nice, and the hostel is right near the center of things. I highly recommend it as a good option for less money in the area - an easy base for exploring the ocean road and its many sights to see.

A great place to base yourself for the 12 Apostles/Loch Ard Gorge and many of the other amazing views you get from the Great Ocean Road. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice clean, spacious hostel, definitely worth stopping here.

Good place to stay. The only thing that I don't like is that the toilets are in the middle of the main corridor and not in a separate room.

It's sad having the restrooms and the showers directly on the floor. This made a lot of noise. The powder room was for men and women.... Shouldn't this be separte?
