The Barn is a lovely hostel and I highly recommend if you are wanting to stay in the area! The building is very modern and beautiful on the inside and out. The common area is very large with a huge kitchen and plenty of seating. The rooms are a little small but we were only staying one night so it wasn’t a problem. The bathrooms are spacious and the shower is great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a gorgeous view of mountains and the beach behind the Barn!

While this Hostel facility was newer, beautifully designed and impeccable, sharing a room with 4 beds with other guests just wasn't for us. Staff was awesome. We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but opted for a regular room for night 2. If you don't mind the hostel experience, then you're good to go!

The views of the fields leading to the ocean are unmatched. It is quiet and dark, if you have a private room. I would pay the extra money for the quiet and relaxed location. We stayed at another hotel in town on the way back and it was not as restful(intense bright lights all night, noise in the morning and we didn’t get the bed we had requested). The town hotels had breakfast included but I would spend my money on the barn and still make my own breakfast in the communal kitchen or grab a few pastries at the front desk.

Our March stay was nice. The double room with shared bathroom was comfortable. It was quiet during the quiet hours. The flavoured water at the front was a nice touch. Check in was easy. Plenty of parking available. The downstairs lounge had comfy seats to lounge and hang out in. More guests should use the bath mats provided to keep the shower floors dry. The kitchen area and bathrooms are cleaned daily by staff.

Good Hostel

The Barn was a very nice pod-style hostel. We stayed in a 6 Bed Dorm. They are double beds with a curtain to separate. The bed is quite comfy, albeit one more pillow would’ve been nice. A shelf within the bed pod would’ve been handy to put items such as phone and other night time essentials. There were a decent amount of toilets, showers, and sinks. There is a kitchen facility upstairs however I did not use it. Everything seemed fairly clean. One downside for me personally, is that you check in and are assigned your bed. But there is no key card or code to access the dorm room, and there are no lockers for your stuff. So you have to be very trusting. It was okay for us but bear that in mind if you have any valuables or are wary of leaving your belongings. There is an area with two hairdryers and a big mirror which is ideal for women getting ready. I would suggest however that they add better lighting to this area. The shower was fine and there are about eight. I would suggest they add in a shelf at the door for your clothing as there are only some hooks. It can get very noisy, we were in the bed nearest the door to the communal area, and some people do not shut the dorm room door fully (with pressure applied) and therefore everything could be heard from the common area and it was quite loud at times. Overall, I think this is a nice, modern hostel. We stayed for two nights, but I wouldn’t begrudge staying longer if you needed more time.
