Amazing place! The hours of work really are good! And the team I had was amazing! Beach close, city close, stores close! Great coffee place and the kitchen is great filled with everything you need

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel! Kerrie and Nathan are great hosts, really laidback, helpful, welcoming and made my first volunteer experience amazing. I met a lot of awesome friends there and I really look forward to meet up with them again. The work itself is easy and as described (doing beds, cleaning the kitchen/common areas/bathroom, taking the trash out etc) and normally around 2 hours a day with one day off - so enough free time to do something fun! Altogether I would recommend this experience to everyone who wants to help out in a fun and relaxed environment!

I absolutely loved my stay here!! It really changed my backpacking experience in the best way possible and really felt like home away from home :) Everyone is wonderful and the hostel is located right next to everything you need - beach, grocery store, silent disco, etc.

This was my first worldpackers experience and it couldn't have been better! I met so many amazing friends that i know i'll meet again in the future. The hostel is very social, it isn't very big which is nice, cause almost everyone knows each other and it makes the atmosphere more familiar. The job is usually from 10 to 12/12:30 and it consists in changing beds, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, raking the outside area, cleaning the kitchen, taking out the trash, etc. The work is really easy and the time goes by really fast. I couldn't recommend this experience more:) Thank you for everything

Thanks to Kerrie and Nathan for hosting me! I had a great and fun time at the hostel, and I met many new friends there. The hostel is so cozy, and I love its vibe! However, the volunteer room was the only thing I didn't like - it had a strong smell and a lot of mold, despite leaving the door open almost every night. The work was super easy and you have a lot of freetime because you just have to work 2 hours a day🫶🏼

The hostelwas a very cozy place with amazing people! You make friends for life and the work is really easy! We used our free time on surf lessons at Pines, going out or doing day trips in the area:) The hosts are really sweet and flexible and we overall had an amazing time in Aus:))

My experience was overall good. Communication very clear and good. Easy work. Lovely internationals to meet. The hostel itself was less clean than I expected it to be, but still ok! There were a few strange people who coming in and out there, but that's maybe everywhere. The bed-dorm was not what I expected, not tidy and clean at all. But if you are a good sleeper and don't mind ;). Location great, close to shops and the beach. Wollongong is a very nice place to relax! And met nice other volunteers 🦋🫶🏼

This was such great experience! You just work a couple hours a day, you get to enjoy all the incredible hostel facilities, the location couldn't be better and Kerry and her sons are the icing on the cake. Spent a month there and I wish I could have stayed longer!

Incredible experience! I meet an incredible group of people in a wonderful location! I strongly suggest it if you want to disconnect from a busy city! 10/10

I had a lovely time in Wollongong thanks to my time and the people at the hostel. As my first destination backpacking it was great to have such a kind and helpful host while also getting to meet some extremely cool and sociable people. There was almost always something going on at the hostel and the people there are very friendly and quick to help you acclimate. The work is exactly as listed and rarely went over alongside the host being very amicable to any changes or time off you need to explore the surrounding area. Definitely recommend a stay or volunteer experience here.
