Wasn't expecting much from Coffs harbour but I loved this place! Free shuttle was waiting for us when we arrived and we went up to a viewpoint where they told us about what we could do during our stay! Lots more to do than I thought and lots of the things are cheap! Bonus! Surf lessons are the cheapest I've... More

I have stayed in so many places that don't have lockers but this one did. The hostel was generally ok but there isn't a lot to do in Coffs. All the hostels are located around a 40 minute from the centre of town. The shuttle bus is a welcome service from the bus stop. The hostel is close to the... More

Stayed at this hostel one night. Had trouble finding the hostel as there was a sign pointing in the wrong direction that led us astray. We phoned to let reception know we'd be 15 minutes late. They stayed open the extra 15 minutes which was appreciated, but were very grumpy with us, informing us that making sure the signs were... More

As others have said Aussitel really sets a good benchmark for other hostels to follow. It feels like its run with experience which few other places we've stayed have. Staff were friendly and informed. They made good recommendations on what there is to do. Place was clean and facilities well kept. No worries at all. Coffs harbor in general was... More

I came to Coffs Harbour after a very hectic time in Sydney, and was pleasantly surprised, the place was friendly, relaxing and welcoming. The whole of Coffs Harbour was a nice rest from Sydney. From just sitting, chilling out on the sofa watching a few films with other people, to the free activities, there was never a time I felt... More

The hostel has a nice homely feeling to it, the staff especially Kath are really nice. There are pictures etc. on the wall that you can tell people have put a lot of effort into! Only downside is that it's a bit of a walk from the town, but that does make it closer to the beaches. You get free... More
