What guests think

At Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers, guests highlight clean, budget-friendly stays with friendly staff, a big shared kitchen, and plenty of communal areas and games, in a generally quiet, walkable location that works well for stopovers and social, low-frills travel.

Rooms are basic, with fans in some instead of air conditioning, variable mattress comfort, and occasional noise or humidity near busy areas. Some guests struggled to reach reception by phone or after hours, and there were a few awkward or inconsistent interactions. A few facilities show wear, with weak showers, sporadic power outlets, and a small on-site car park offset by easy free street parking. Overall, expect a sociable, budget-friendly hostel stay with simple comforts.

My single room had a comfortable bed, a chair and a shelf with enough space for my needs. The ceiling fan was quiet and powerful. The shared bathroom was always clean during my stay. There are 3 single rooms sharing that bathroom so access was never a problem and I barely saw or heard the other occupants. The kitchen and dining areas were always clean with all that I needed. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There are not a lot of on-site parking spots but it was never hard to find one. The on-street parking was free, unrestricted and not crowded if needed.

The pool was cold but nice, the room was very homely, was no air con so if you are Canadian this is rough. The lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The lady who came into my room when I had just finished dressing, that was awkward but we got through it. lol. I also did not love having to pull all the bedding off the bed to bring to the front desk. So weird!

Very good experience at Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers - YHA. The managers were friendly and gave good advice. We are a couple, so we took a private room, and it was very clean and cosy. In addition, there is a lot of entertainment such as a pool table, table tennis, swimming pool, TV room and much more! I highly recommend it!

Everything about the hostel was good, clean, well stocked and convenient. My one problem was with communication - on 2 occasions before I arrived I phoned and each time I was sent to voice mail, (despite being a time when reception was supposedly staffed) where the message about staffing times proved to be wrong. I left a message asking to be called back but I received no call back.

Prijs/kwaliteit ok. Maar liever hadden we wel een airco gehad aangezien de kamer best benauwd was. Verder waren wij geen hostels gewend dus hebben geen vergelijkingsmateriaal. Op loopafstand van stadje met in ieder geval eetgelegenheden. Zijn met auto naar Koala hospital geweest. Erg interessant. Voor ons was het een overnachting op doorreis.
