I had the whole hostel for my own.
The WiFi connection was pretty bad. Cockroaches in the kitchen, kitchen should be renovated anyhow. The beds are short for tall people.

Great location by the ocean. Super cheap rates in a big old 2 storey hotel, with a great atmosphere.
I had to go home.

I visited Penguin to have a break from my 8 week family visit from Bne while mum recovered Hospital
A room overlooking the Ocean- Bass Straight for $30/night in a big old Hotel, with meals/ a bar / restaurant and Keno pokies downstairs is great value. I had the 65 room Art Deco Hotel to myself. It was so homely, self contained kitchen, laundry / big TV lounge / big clean bathrooms and free parking. Free Tea n coffee and biscuits in the pokies / keno lounge. ( I don't play pokies). I had a 3 day weekend in Penguin, Northern Tasmania. Not bad for a Backpackers, I say 5 Star. I will be back for Xams to visit my home state Tassie.
no tea spoons in the kitchen
