"Excellent hostel - fantastic facilities throughout with the kitchen, pool, bar, laundry etc, the place is well maintained and my private room was kept incredibly clean throughout my one-week stay. Belonging Beach is literally on the doorstep, and there's a great cafe/restaurant right next door. They also run hourly free shuttle services to/from the town centre which is super convenient. Highly recommend!"
