Liked: Hostel was in the best location, a pub and general store were just next door, and a short drive got us to the 12 Apostles for sun set... perfect!

Disliked: Outside could have done with some maintenance and the rooms had no fan or fly screens so on a hot day our room was a little uncomfortable to sleep in. Overall though no complaints! I'd visit again and recommend to all of my friends!

Liked: Everyone was really friendly and we had a great night in the bar over the road (linked with the hostel). Hostel was clean and well-equipped. It was also really close to some great sights! Not much in the village it's based in, but everything you would need for a night's stay.

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!! The hostel was about 7 mins drive from the 12 Apostles and luckily we managed to get directions from a helpful guide at the apostles.The owner was very friendly and helpful, there is a local pub/restaurant/cafe/shop across the road with cheap food. The hostel itself was clean and tidy with DVDs available and a communual social area. All in all we had a great nights stay at the hostel and woudl recommend it!

Disliked: The only downside i would say is the communnual plates and cups were quite dirty, as was the outside cooking area. Directions should say "turn off Great Ocean Rd AT Princetown, on the left from Melbourne or right from Adelaide."
