Casa Kiwi Hostel

Backpackers paradise on the beach with clean dorms, private rooms and bungalows with A/C and balcony. Great place for meeting other travelers and chilling out. Excellent food, hammocks, pool table, volleyball and internet. Secluded beach, great sunsets, no roosters and easy access to town.

Welcome to Casa Kiwi where there is something for everyone. We are the only place in Trujillo truly set up for backpackers, whether you want to relax, play or just meet other travelers and best of all; we're right on a secluded beach. Even if you don't consider yourself a backpacker you will find Casa Kiwi very clean, comfortable, all rooms with full bathroom facilities, safe, and incredible value right in the beautiful bay of Trujillo.

Our newly built complex of budget accommodation, bar, restaurant and internet cafe is situated in large grounds with spectacular views and ensures you peace and quiet not found in town. Read: No cocks crowing at 4am with the adjoining dog barking chorus! We also boast having the best spot in town for watching the sun go down over a cocktail or two...its right out in front of the bar (and beach). If you're into sunrises then they are available as well - although you do have to leave the bar for those.

Come to Casa Kiwi and we will do our best to make your stay in Trujillo a memorable one. Trujillo has much to offer; whether it's the Capiro - Calentura National Park, cool waterfalls, fishing, snorkeling, the Guaimoreto Lagoon, Garifuna villages along the coast, blobbing on the beach or just propping up the bar. It's all within easy reached, or stumbles, depending on your time in the bar…

It was on August 14, 1502 that Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of Trujillo Bay and there is a local joke that upon leaving, he told the local people not to do anything until he got back… and they haven't. Come and see for yourself if it's true.

If you're looking for a place to hang your hat in the Caribbean for a while or the money bag is getting a little low, then consider staying with us and helping out. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested or, just show up at the bar.
