Beachside Backpackers has a fully-equipped kitchen open 24 hours where you can cook and store food during your stay.

All guests are welcome to use the kitchen facilities, provided that they clean up after cooking and consider the needs of other guests.

We have an extensive, bordering on obsessive, range of board games. Surfboards for hire and lifts to the closest beginner’s beach each day. Daily social activities & social nights. Yoga mats. Gaming system. Netflix & Chilli dog. Book exchange. DVD’s. Fishing rods. Pool table. Kicker. Play Station 3. And much more.

Activities include wine tasting, trips to coastal walks, quizzes, pool comps, and much much more.

We know what it’s like to live on a budget, we have no hidden fees and we try to make everything either free or cheap as possible for you while keeping the tax man from repossessing our surfboards.

Sorry, we do not accept children in the hostel.
Our target market is backpackers between the ages of 18-35. While we are happy to accommodate guests outside this age group (and some of our most amazing guests have been older), older guests should be aware we are structured to appeal to a younger market.

We want to keep the world healthy, which is why we get our power directly from the sun via our solar panels.
We also have filtered rainwater tanks for our showers and bathroom sinks.
