Backpackers@1770

This is hostel accommodation so you will be staying in a dorm room that has an en-suite bathroom, and we have communal areas for everyone to enjoy! There is a living room area with a TV, big kitchen with seating areas, picnic bench area and a fire pit. It is a fun hostel where all staff take part in a wide range of activities, whether its going for a group surf, four-wheel driving, hiking, fire spinning on the beach or just hanging out having drinks; there will always be something for everyone. Its a sociable hostel so we encourage all staff and guests to interact!

Run by Oscar and Jazz with their side-kick pet dog Duke, Backpackers is a family owned business, which was bought in August 2015. There are three owners, Oscar and his parents Paul and Sharon. Oscar and his family have each had an extensive experience in travelling and still hold this passion. Since owning the hostel they have recreated the space and are still developing areas to complete their vision. Their vision is to have a hostel that has a chilled vibe, with artwork, eco-projects and the look of a bohemian travelling hostel. With their experience in travelling and passion for the environment, they have applied this in how they've created the hostel; they want to make it to feel like home for backpackers and give them a memorable travelling experience.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y la verdad que ha sido espectacular. Estuve a cargo de la cocina y estuvo muy divertido. Mis compañeros del staff son lo máximo! Su compañía me ayudo mucho ya que es mi primer gran viaje sola. También al estar en un hostel te permite conocer gente nueva todo el tiempo, vivir nuevas experiencias, conocer el mundo a través de ellos!
El hostel en sí ya es muy bonito, rodeado de naturaleza, a minutos de la playa, instalaciones cómodas, pero la onda de la gente es lo que lo convierte en un hostel 5 estrellas. Súper recomendable!!!

"A little out of the way, a lot out of the ordinary" an understatement of what it truly means to be a part of Backpackers@1770. As well as the big heart of Agnes Water & 1770 that it had shared with not just me, but for many others! From planning to stay for only a month to staying half a year, just goes to show the love you'll learn to form with such beautiful people and a 2nd home! To the owners Oscar & Javi, thank you for having me and making my first WorldPackers experience an unforgettable one! This will forever be my favourite time here in Australia! Take care and see you again soon!

The best place in Australia, I learned a lot of things, the main one was empathy, the managers Rob and Shazz made my days light and friendly, leaving was the only difficult thing to do, the hostel has an incredible vibe, I felt welcomed by a great family and I want to return soon.

It was my first Worldpackers experience and it couldn’t have been better. This place and these wonderful people make you never want to leave. I would definitely recommend!!!

This place truly becomes a second home, I have met the most amazing people in both the guests and the amazing staff and management, these are the type of people that make you love human connection! Plus the management was incredibly understanding and willing to be flexible when things came up, it’s definitely built on mutual respect and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
