Basic hostel in a beautiful location
This is a backpackers hostel so the facilities are basic. It is situated outside Drake Bay but there are bicycles available for guests to use or, alternatively, the manager can arrange for a taxi to take you to local destinations. He is also happy to arrange guided tours in the area. The garden around the hostel is fantastic for wildlife and there are local shops and cafes to get food.

Great hostel & a lovely family
Marvin works tirelessly to ensure the guests get the best experience possible. He has great connections, one night we asked to go whale watching very late. He went to great lengths to make sure we could go. Amazing time spent at Drake bay backpacks!
