Very good located hostel. Staff is friendly and helps where help is needed. Rooms are clean, so is the kitchen. Good place to hang around and feel good. Kick back and relax at the Ozzie Pozzie!!! I'd like to be there again!

this place is too small. rooms are very tiny and located around the common area which is very very noisy at night and also quite expensive for its standard. only good thing is free internet otherwise it does not have much to offer.

A Great little Hostel!!! The bathroom, dorms and kitchen were all kept extremely clean. Richard the owner was also good to deal with and would often come out and chat of a night. Highly recommended!!

This hostel was really great! Really nice people, quiet, great atmosphere. Videos to rent for free, bikes just 5 AUD per day - great for a nice trip to lighthouse beach along the coast. :) really enjoyed my stay!

This is exactly what I needed. Between the madness of Byron bay and Sydney I spent a week just chilling out. Beautiful place, great hostel and the most welcoming and accomodating staff I've met. Thanks for the surfing lesson Richard!

Ozzie Pozzie was a nice place to chill out. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. Had made friends with everyone within the first five minutes! Wish I'd had more time in port as it's gorgeous.

This is a great ohstel to stay at. It has recently been taken over. The rooms and bathroom were clean, although the floor in the bathroom was a bit cold in bare feet! Great communal areas - will be lovely in the summer to sit outside! I would definitely stay again.

Also, although the pillow cases were changed and the bottom sheets, the duvet covers were not - but just refolded and, having seen people sleeping straight under them the previous night, I don't think it was very hygenic to use the same ones again, especially without telling anyone. That said - staff were v friendy.close

hand-dryers or paper towels would be a big help in the showers/toilets but overall we thought the hostel and staff were outstanding
