Excellent hostel! Was there in winter and overall the hostel was warm and cosy. I had a private room with a desk and great bed, heater and plenty of warm bedding. Lovely seating area and trees in the front garden. Off street parking for about 7 cars as well as plenty of street parking and reasonable walk to the centre of town.
As well as onsite managers, plenty of young working holiday staff to keep everything clean and friendly. The yummy home made free chocolate pudding at night (with encouragement to 'put down the phone and interact' ) works to build a good social vibe. Kitchen is large with water filters and plenty of storage space. Good quality guitars and keyboard in the lounge were such a bonus- we had some great jams and fun times playing music in the comfortable lounge, while others played chess/board games or read on the many sofas in front the log fire. I was sorry to leave :)
Nothing, it's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at.
