Hostel is adequate, relatively clean, but beds are uncomfortable, bathrooms quite far away and doors very difficult and noisy to open and close... so you get woken up by people coming in at night! Not great if all you want is to catch up on a few nights of sleep

The manager was awesome, and so were the complimentary pancakes! The shuttle into town was great and we were able to use boogie boards and bikes for the day at no charge. A very good experience all around.

Generally a good place, pancakes in the morning were a bonus! Loacation is ok, only 15min walk to town and regular shuttle bus.

Great place to stay in Byron!! A free bus provides stayers a trip into town and back. Free pancakes in the morning. Clean rooms! Very fun and interesting place!

The rooms were pretty good, hard wood floor. The staff was really nice. Free movies was nice before bed. The free bus to town was handy. The walk really isn't far though. Over all I really liked my stay. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

Cape Byron was an ok hostel, but it is quite out of the way. Also, silly i know, but they stop you watching tv at 10.30pm every night, even when you are half way through a movie.

Nice hostel, quite a way out of the main town but still in walking distance. There is a free bus available and free bike hire. The beds aren't the best but the rooms were nice and clean. Staff were really friendly, and i would reccomend for a short stay, especially for the free pancakes!

it was pretty quiet cause of low season. Pancakes were good. Hostel is pretty close to a more quiet beach and 15 min from centre.
