Superbe localisation au calme. Mais à la fois proche de tout avec un scooter. Les petites cabanes sont très cosy, un peu chaud à l’intérieur car seulement un ventilateur. Mais sinon endroit très calme et reposant. Et les hôtes sont d’une gentillesse ! Le tour en bateau avec eux est top !

The location was not that close to the center, but very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend a scooter, but I think that’s obviously then u book it. The cabins are clean, nice and comfty. The fan is working good. They also have a hammock under the hut. The breakfast was also okay. The owner or the stuff (we are not sure) are very very friendly and the kids are very cute. The garden was beautiful and green! They sell water for refilling for a reasonable price.
Nothing!

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour ! La cabane moyenne était très bien pour 3 jours. Le personnel est sympathique. Location de scooter sur place pratique ! Nous avons aimé le calme et le fait d’être un peu à l’écart du centre ville.
Un chien m’a piqué une chaussure sur la terrasse, lui a délicatement retiré la semelle et a bien planqué les deux éléments dans des endroits différents. Bref, rien de grave mais ne laissez pas traîner des chaussures dehors

Relación calidad precio inmejorable. Los baños de las cabañas estaban realmente bien y el desayuno incluido se agradece.
Se encuentra a un paseo del pueblo, algo alejado teniendo en cuenta el tamaño.

Rodeado de naturaleza, tenias tu intimidad y silencio en cada cabañita! la verdad que nos encanto, nosotros nos manejamos siempre en moto lo que hace mas facil y accesible
Es verdad que se encuentra a unos metros del centro de la ciudad, 1km caminando y de noche si estas cansado se hace largo, Pero si alquilas moto te mueves super comodamente sin pronlemas

The resort was beautiful with a great view from the hill, cabins were lovely and comfortable - given how cheap it was I was amazed I had a whole cabin to myself (as well as its own bathroom). Lots of adorable pets on the property and the owners were really friendly.
Could have been a few more different options at breakfast and serving sizes could have been a bit bigger
The path up to the resort is very dark at night - could do with some lights or something along the way

Very kind staff, good breakfast, stable wifi for basic browsing, decent room for what you pay
The bathroom could have been cleaner (there was hair in the shower drain)

It was very peaceful, nice to be slightly out of the town. The owners were friendly and so were the dogs!! Mosquito nets were provided and the fan was good and kept the room cool.
The rooms don’t have walls per se (curtains and slatted bamboo) so bring an eye mask because it gets very bright! Also bring ear plugs. There are lots of bugs and no wifi or hot shower (but this is as advertised!) just a warning to some. The owners didn’t speak loads of English but enough to get by :)

The huts are really cool, they’re clean and comfortable. The owner Norma is super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the vibe here, it was really relaxing and homey. I would recommend this place.
Nothing bad about the place at all just worth noting it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the beach.

I love the property. even tho it's far from a restau it's still one of the best places to ease your stress because of the tranquillity in that resort. I love the people who are working there, they are very nice and very warm to their guests they make my stay very special.
there are a lot of bugs and insects but it's fine because considering its location I already expect that there will be a lot of bugs and insects in that area

For us BackPackers Hill is the best place to stay in Port Barton. It is located just outside the center and you can walk there along nice little roads. The hosts are very friendly and help you where they can. The cottages have everything you need and there are good beds. Before the pandemic we stayed in BackPackers Hill for 3 weeks and now after the pandemic we stayed there for 4 weeks. When we go back to Port Barton we will stay here again.

Cottage and garden were very nice and comfy
Location a bit far from the centre and the beach (around 15min walk)...the pro is that the place is very quiet and peaceful...the con is that you may need a motorbike to easily go back and forth during the day and night

Breakfast in the morning was great and the communal area was a lovely setting. The hostel itself was very relaxed and the staff very friendly and helpful. The huts are small but comfortable.
The shower and toilet in the hut are very close to the beds with only a sheer curtain as a door (not a huge issue but maybe something to note if you're not very comfortable with the person you are sharing with)

This place is beautiful.
Nice bungalows, good breakfast and friendly staff.
Would stay there again!
It is a bit outside of Port Barton but its a nice walk.
