Moved to this backpackers as I had a rental car. The Brunswick (tassie backpackers) where I spent my first night before I picked up the car was going to be a big hassle for parking. Good move. Aside from parking the host Mo is the hardest working nicest guy you could meet. The backpackers itself has free wifi, gas ovens... More

This backpacker is the end of my 3 weeks NZ/AU trip. Unfortunately my journey ends like a nightmare in Hobart, the so-called best travelling city of lonely-planet. 1) The Female Washroom is dark and dirty, BONUS: lots of long hair on the wall. 2) The double room is unbelievably small. If you are over 55kg (f) 70kg (m) I dont... More

I stayed there for two nights in Narrara with my friend, and we do enjoy it. Mo is very friendly and helpful, you can get all the useful hints from him. Our family studio is clean and quiet, and it got hot water 24 hours a day. It's really a nice place for travellers to spend great time. If we... More

I don't know what happenned last winter when people wrote some pretty bad reviews, although I stayed here in June last year and winter of 2010 also and it was fine then, too. But personally I find Narrara vastly better than your usual backpackers and I won't stay at a backpackers unless it's this place. Even the people who have... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights in January 2012. It was great, the staff are very helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable and much better than Montgomery's YHA which was on a noisy street (constant clanging of the clock tower all night!). The showers and kitchen could be a little better but overall I thought it was very... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights during our 3 month trip through Australia. Out of all the hostels we stayed in this was the worst and did not meet the expectations we had for this hostel. We stayed in a double room which was clean and served its purpose but I would not have been happy staying... More
