Just what we wanted, simple and quaint
This was our second time staying here, and we enjoy the location of the backpackers. It is back from the main road so it's nice and quiet. We were greeted with a warm welcome and given a tour of the place - dining room, backyard where you can set up a tent, campfire and chairs around... It's nice that they have a variety of options for accommodation depending on your needs. They added an option for dinner this time, which is convenient for backpackers on the go.
