Overview

A city base for those who enjoy quality and comfortable surroundings while traveling. Because we are a small hostel our reception is only open from 8am to 8pm and Check-In is only possible during those hours.

Imagine a hostel within 15 - 20 minutes walking distance (5mins by bus) to the city centre - a hostel where you can escape the hustle and bustle from the moment you enter the property through the garden gate...

Take a walk along the garden path to a charming villa with polished wooden floors and hand-made native timber furniture. Both our villas have been completely restored and are equipped to please the traveler’s needs.

We only accept bookings for a maximum of seven days. Bookings for a longer period of time will be canceled.

RECEPTION HOURS & CHECK-IN TIMES: 8am to 8pm
Guests may check-in any time after 1pm during reception hours. However, we are pleased to report that we now can accommodate guests arriving late. In consideration for our other guests we will ONLY accept bookings for PRIVATE ROOMS outside our reception hours.

The Accommodation:
Central heating to keep warm during those cold winter months, Doubles & Twins (with and without private bathrooms) & spacious Dorms - all with firm beds for a good nights sleep. Triple rooms have one double and one single bed.

The Facilities:
Well equipped kitchens and pick your own fresh herbs from our organic herb garden to enhance your meal, TV lounge and a separate reading lounge to chill out & other home comforts such as laundry, guest telephone & Internet, off street parking...

The Garden:
Our spacious garden landscaped with lots of native plants, fern trees and palm trees is a wonderful space to relax. Plenty of outdoor seating invites you to sit back, rejuvenate, contemplate your travel memories and itineraries or enjoy a good conversation with friends and travel mates.

The Location:
Best of both worlds: close to the city sights whilst supermarket, fruit & verge shop, post office, take away, banks, restaurants etc. are conveniently located just across the road. Buses to local beaches and city leave from our doorstep.

The Staff:
Just friendly people and keen travelers themselves are waiting to help you and to share all their local knowledge with you to make your stay here most enjoyable.

Children's Policy:
Regretfully we can only accept children age 14 and older.
