Lovely staff. Had single room which was comfortable and warm. However the smell of weed from guests who appeared to be long-term Sawyers was a put off. Seems like the hostel is like a emergency accommodation place . The hostel policy is no drugs so these guests and the area they smoke in near carpark in a shed area needs sorting. Not acceptable at all.

Room was clean. Staff were very helpful. Struggled a bit with the shared kitchen and other guests not cleaning up after themselves as well as they should.

Stayed 1 night

definitely more than adequate! Simple and "rustic" in many regards, but really well thought-out provision of all the things you might need. Our individual room even had a refrigerator, in addition to the large freezers and refrigerators provided for all in a well stocked kitchen. Games provided. Lots of space. Parking is well organized. Definitely would return.
