Single room was very quiet &comfortable. Perfect

My single room had a comfortable bed, a chair and a shelf with enough space for my needs. The ceiling fan was quiet and powerful. The shared bathroom was always clean during my stay. There are 3 single rooms sharing that bathroom so access was never a problem and I barely saw or heard the other occupants. The kitchen and dining areas were always clean with all that I needed. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There are not a lot of on-site parking spots but it was never hard to find one. The on-street parking was free, unrestricted and not crowded if needed.

It's a hostel.

The pool was cold but nice, the room was very homely, was no air con so if you are Canadian this is rough. The lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The lady who came into my room when I had just finished dressing, that was awkward but we got through it. lol. I also did not love having to pull all the bedding off the bed to bring to the front desk. So weird!

More than adequate for a backpacker establishment. My room was small but satisfactory. The location would be a bit difficult if you didn't have a car.

Great stopover

Great overnight stay at Ozzie Pozzie. Room was clean, and beds were really comfortable. Great location, and there’s a small car park (or plenty of parking on the street). Will definitely stay here again on our trips from Sydney to Qld.
