Established in 1980, this sprawling hostel in a Victorian mansion may look a little on the lived-in side, but it has plenty of character – not to mention lots of extras such as a lovely spacious courtyard, free bedlinen and towels, 24-hour check-in and complimentary airport pick-up (very welcome after spending a day on an aeroplane). There are single, double and family rooms as well as ten-person dorms, some of which are women-only. All rooms have televisions and fridges, and some have balconies, although most bathroom facilities are shared. There’s usually something going on in the courtyard, whether it’s karaoke or an Aussie barbie. The kitchen is big and modern, with food lockers, and there are laundry facilities available as well.
Internet (high-speed, pay terminals). No smoking. TV (cable/DVD/TV room). Rates $30 dorm; $75-$95 double/twin. Rooms 35. Credit MC, V.
