About

More fun than a share house, cheaper than a hostel! myOZexp Lodge is a small, friendly, heritage-listed lodge that accepts interstate, regional Western Australia and international Travellers aged between 18-35 ONLY. We're located in Northbridge, which is a great zone close to the city with an entertainment precinct and free buses.

Perfect for backpackers, international student and working holiday makers! Most of our visitors stay longer than the average backpacker, with many staying a month or more. Many come for a few days and then decide to extend longer as they find their second family at the lodge.

We're a chilled out, comfortable place with newly renovated common areas and bathroom and a friendly family-like atmosphere. Cheaper rates with longer stays. Common areas are cleaned twice a day

Overall, not a good hostel. Staff were unhelpful and quite rude. Hostel was very dirty and needed a makeover. Rust and mould everywhere. There was a good atmosphere and the location is excellent, and price is cheap comparative to others. That’s the redeeming factor

Great location and comfortable stay! The location was super convenient for getting around, and the facility was clean and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, so I got a great night’s sleep throughout my stay. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Great value for money—highly recommend to anyone visiting!
