Liked: I originally booked this hostel because of recommendations made by people on one of my tours on the east coast. When I arrived at the haven I had no tour and the staff helped me book a really good one. I was very happy with my room, very clean and it had it's own shower & toilet. The free breakfast was really good too ( one of the other people on my ayers rock tour said their hostel only let each person have a maximum of two pieces of toast!) After my tour I stayed at the Haven again, and my return stay was FREE because I booked the tour there! There was a BBQ at the pool when I got up, so I joined the party to find a BABY KANGAROO & a man explaining how to rescue them if their mother is killed & lots of other information about kangaroos & other australian animals. there was also a snake and a lizard we could hold for photos.... i had my best day in australia ever and i never left the hostel because of all the fun and nice people. Lots of thanks to the staff, especially the girl with blond curly hair & the guy with the hat

Disliked: I didn't like leaving so soon!

Liked: I was only here for 1 night prior to joining the Rock Tour. However, the hostel was clean and tidy enough. The staff were helpful and the location was 10 min walk from the town. I was not here long enough to use all of the facilities or meet people but the people that I had meet on the Uluru tour had said Annies Place and Toddies was not great so I think Haven was a good choice.

Disliked: Nothing.
