World-renowned for our beautiful beaches and chilled-out lifestyle, Sydney has more to offer than you could ever expect, with Sydney Harbour Bridge (and Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb), Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach (Walk From Bondi Beach To Coogee Beach), Taronga Zoo, Sydney Aquarium and Oceanworld at Manly, Sydney Wildlife Park, AMP Sydney Tower and Skywalk, Open Air Cinema (and Moonlight Cinema), Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, Ferry from Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour To Manly, Hunter Valley and the Blue Mountains.

Now, if you do manage to visit all these wonderful sites, don't worry because there's still plenty more to see. All you have to do is ask either Robert or Jade and they'll happily help you out. And, if you�re lucky, they might even let you in on a few local secrets. :)

We understand that the Jackaroo Hostel will be the centre of your Sydney experience and we want it to be memorable. We love Sydney and we want you to love it, too. That�s why we�ll go out of our way to help you with anything we can. We can help organise all the usual must-see tourist attractions like Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, Taronga Zoo or the Blue Mountains. Then, when you�re done with all the hustle and bustle, we can show you the Sydney that we know. Maybe get out of the city for a hike, go climbing or maybe do some camping. We can also show you where to eat, drink, party or just relax with some friends.

We do this...because we absolutely love it. We love to see the smile on our guest�s face when they return for the day. We�re proud to offer all our guests a pleasant stay in a welcoming, friendly and comfortable environment.

Our safe, clean hostel has helpful, friendly staff, security lockers and no lockout.
