The location and facilities of the hostel is good. The reception lady is friendly. We stayed for one night and left in the morning only found a charge on my credit card of 91.53 $ the next day (surely not for the accommodation as it has been fully paid beforehand.) Neither explanation nor notice in advance for this charge and I don’t know what it is about. I called the hostel several times seeking clarification and nobody answered the phone. Guided by the automatic voice of hostel, my text messages to the number with same question went unanswered either. This is confusing and just don’t know what to do next.

Outstanding. Location is perfect. Super clean; super friendly. Great beers. Pizza was so-so. Go elsewhere for dinner. Loved the lounges and TV rooms and general atmosphere. The common toilets and showers were not a problem at all. Convenient, Very clean and plenty of privacy. Rooms were immaculate. Other than the pizza quality, the only complaint is the limited hours. Likely many hostels, it is inexplicably closed during prime hours.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The people were friendly and it was nice to enjoy a beer and pizza in the shared bar and communal areas.
We had a double room and happy with shared toilets and showers. The only problem was the lack of washbasins. The only washbasin was in the shared bathroom at the end of the corridor. There were small handbasins on top of the toilets but unfortunately none of these were working. If the single bathroom with the washbasin was occupied it was impossible to wash hands or teeth!

The room was cozy and very clean. There is a bar downstairs but it closes at a reasonable hour and we never heard anything from the room. Shared bathroom was never a problem. I was initially hesitant about shared bathrooms but, They were very clean and we never had to wait. There were plenty of facilities. The guesthouse had a great atmosphere, is walkable to the rest if the town. Would absolutely stay again!

I most likely didn't read the fine print but this is more like a back-packers than a motel, which I only realised when I got here. Rooms don't have bathrooms. Toilet and showers are communal although there is one actual bathroom with shower, toilet and hand basin. There is also a general wash room with several wash basins. Everything was clean and well presented. there is a large communal recreation/dining area in the pub/pizza bar on the ground floor. Highly recommend if you don't mind this sort of thing.

I didn’t realise what kind of room I was purchasing online. Shared bathrooms and no television in the room. Probably my fault as I was rushing to find a bed for the night. Didn’t stay, ended up going on. I t was disappointing there was no mention of any type of refund offered. If anything I was told I should have booked a motel!

8.0
Rooms are spacious, comfortable and super clean.
There's a pizza bar on-site so you don't need to look further for your food and drinks.
Although bathrooms are shared, they are hyper clean and there's a large number of them, so you never have to wait.
The accommodation location is also perfect for those wanting to explore more of the Great Ocean Road.

The property was OK with basic infrastructure. The good thing about this property is the vast & nice kitchen. The bad thing about the property was not have attached toilets and a Bathroom.
4.0
We booked a night at the quadruple room with a private bathroom (I still have the confirmed email that states so) but somehow upon check in, the booking changed to shared bathroom on the app.
We were confused and tired but still accepted the room. Room is nice and clean like photos and there’s plenty of shared bathrooms but it was just not what we initially wanted. Location is good as well, with enough parking on site.
Communal dining area is welcoming to guests and public.

Nice clean room
Only downside is that you can’t take food and drinks to your room
You’re only allowed to take water to your room. The owner is very strict.

I like the communal kitchen which is fully equipped to a kitchenette in the room. Great idea! I love the lounge area where it’s comfy and well stocked with books and board games. Adults ordered drinks and kids pizza while we hang out and played games. Will recommend this to all.

Our family of 4 had a fantastic overnight at the guesthouse. We had a really comfy cosy and quiet family ensuite room but also enjoyed the shared lounge and kitchen so much. Such an amazing space with endless amounts of comfort, games, views and on-site brews! The beer was lovely, the host made us so welcome. The location was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Not a hotel/motel & not a hostel. (Doesn’t have the convenience of a hotel & doesn’t have the relaxed vibe of a hostel.) Shower and toilets are literally stalls along the hallway, no privacy. Shower was cold.

Very loud during the night, people drinking and shouting all night. Place is definitely a hostel and not a guesthouse. Weird setup with the toilets and showers, not closed in a seperate room but just in the corridor so could hear everything from bed. You also have to walk to the other end of the corridor to wash your hands. Would definitely not recommend for a family

worst experience I've had in hostel in my entire life. I have slept in more than 400 hostels in 71 countries. the staff woke me up 3 times in the middle of the night to find out my name and find out if I had paid for the lodging. Not even in prison does that happen. More lack of respect with the customer does not exist. I felt in a maximum security prison. I could not rest at night.

Clean and tidy rooms, however no lockers available in the rooms. Shower and toilet cubicles located directly off the hallway opposite rooms which I had read about in previous reviews. No issues from my point of view. Craft beer sold on site. Pizza is ‘heat and eat’ rather than freshly made which is a shame. Overall a comfortable stay and would stay again.

Fine stay with friendly staff. Good beers. The room we stayed in had some noise from the bathroom during the night.

I was apprehensive about staying in a hostel in case it was full of teenage backpackers. We had a private room and though the bathroom was shared, we never had to wait. The showers, toilets and powder rooms were clean and there were plenty available. The beds were comfy and clean and towels were provided. It felt more like a Hotel than a traditional hostel. Downstairs, they have a Craft Brewery and Pizzeria and have games, activities to keep you entertained. You can also pre-order pancakes the night before for your breakfast. The staff were lovely and its a stones throw from a little beach and the main street in Port Campbell.

The Port Campbell hostel is an excellent choice with lots of options depending on the number of people in your party and your travel budget. The staff were wonderful and the facilities are in really good condition.
I really enjoyed unwinding in the social room after a long day on the road. The pizza and beer from the on-site brewery were delicious.
