8/10 Good
"We stayed in the backpacker accommodation opting for a private bathroom. The room was basic with twin iron beds and a small fridge. The room was clean and comfortable. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. There was plenty of outside seating. Would recommend this accommodation."
