Lonely Planet review

Behind a tall bank of disparate trees and surrounded by a lovely garden, this historic house is a beautiful setting for a hostel, and a far departure from the clinical affairs you're likely to find in cities.

Built in the 1920s, the charming cottage encompasses a grand lounge room and a scattering of double rooms with polished wood bed frames, wardrobes straight from the 1940s and simple, heritage-style ambience. Some rooms also contain big bathtubs and views of the garden (then again some are windowless and a tad plain so ask to see a few if you can). The dorm rooms are sunny and equipped with pine bunks, and the kitchen is homely - centred around a solid timber table where you can touch base with fellow travellers. There are also lounge rooms with numerous soft couches and the bathrooms are clean and bright.
