Lonely Planet Review

One of the friendliest and most down-to-earth hostels we've ever visited, and run by two gregarious brothers who know 'the Shire' inside-out. Facilities are simple and well maintained, with a cheery vibe from staff and travellers alike.

It's not 'backpacker basic' by any means (the dorms have TV), but it is more about being comfortable and welcoming, and giving travellers a chance to experience a side of Sydney that's far from the tourist brochures and PR spin - ie, a real beach suburb that's still mostly filled with locals. You can also get the key for the isolated Garie Beach YHA, and it's a great place to join others doing the 26km coastal walk in the Royal National Park or to get your surfing skills up to scratch. The hostel is wheelchair accessible.

How to Get There

Cronulla is the southernmost beach suburb of Sydney, bordering the Royal National Park. We’re located approx 35km south of the city centre.
If arriving by car we are at the end of the Sutherland Shire peninsula – driving down the Kingsway we’re almost the first business on the right as you enter Cronulla.
By train we’re about 50 mins away – take the Illawarra (blue) line train from Central (platform 25), Town Hall or Kings Cross to Cronulla station. From the airport it is also about 50 mins, catch the train to Wolli Creek station then change to the Illawarra line.
When exiting Cronulla Station cross the road, then turn left and walk along the main shopping street (Cronulla Street). This turns into a pedestrianized plaza, walk to the end and you’ll reach the Kingsway main road. Turn left and we’re ~100 metres on the left. Walk past the police station until opposite the “7-Eleven” – we are above the Mexican restaurant “El Sol.”
