Loved this hostel, felt like a home away from home. Great outdoor seating area as well as a comfy sofa inside. Free milk was a big plus, really relaxed atmosphere even though there was a big group staying overnight with the ‘Uncle Brian’ tour. Great location for a stop in the Tablelands, would stay again. If looking for a social/ party hostel this isn’t the place, which for us was perfect.
