About

'A little out of the way, A lot out of the ordinary'

Backpackers@1770 is a must stop on your east coast trip, escape the hustle and bustle of the city in our own little paradise.

A home away from home.

Step inside and be surrounded by a creative and welcoming culture. When travelling North, Agnes Water is the last place you can safely swim and surf, and we are just a 5 minute walk from this pristine beach.

We have spacious dorms with the privacy of ensuite bathrooms and your own lockers.

We run as a BYO alcohol hostel so nip next door and get some beers and join us to meet other travellers in our outdoor living area or around the fire. Cook up a storm on our BBQ or in the fully equipped kitchen. If cooking isn't your thing, sit back, relax and join our communal meal made with fresh local ingredients and homegrown herbs!

PREMIER BUS: If you're coming in on the Premier Motor Service, please contact the property when you make the booking so we know your time of arrival and can inform you of the late arrival check-in procedure. You should know that the bus drops you around 30km out of town, you will need to organise a taxi into town and let them know you're staying with us. Simply come and see us the next morning to pay.

GREYHOUND BUS: If you're coming on the Greyhound, you will be met by one of our volunteers who will walk you over to the hostel which is less than a 2 minute walk from the bus stop.

Really nice vibe. So chill and staff were really useful (especially arriving late on delayed greyhound bus). Agnes Water is a beautiful place. Dorms are a little bit shabby.

Cute hostel with fun staff and a great inclusive vibe! In a great location and with spacious rooms for the shared dorms. Lots of activities to do at the hostel, I wish I could’ve stayed longer!
