My experience at the hostelwas amazing. The vibes at the hostel are unmatched and this is down to Kerry's brilliant décor, wooden furniture imported from Bali and a garden full of plants, it feels as if you are in your own tropical oasis. I was working at a bar down the road, and they were always really flexible with my hours, I knew I could balance both hostel work and hospitality work, which made it really easy to get into a routine. I ended up extending my stay, just like many of my friends, I could not recommend this hostel enough!

I really recommend the hostelfor solo the hostel. The tasks are really easy to get through and you can come with wishes, hostel is really flexible for what suits you. For the work you put in you get so much. Kerrie and Nathan are the loveliest hosts and let you have your freedom fully in this relaxed place. The hostel is also in a great location in central Wollongong and the city is also close to Sydney and a lot of other cool possible day trips. The best for me was the welcoming and the group being so tight. Really made me feel like part of a big family!

Staying at the hostelwas truly an unforgettable experience. I made incredible friends, got to enjoy what Wollongong had to offer and find a second home in Australia. The location is great You are 5 min walk to the beach, cute cafes and restaurants walking distance and there is a decent night scene. Work is not bad and you are done in the early afternoon. I would definitely recommend this stay!
