Cape Byron Yha

Was definitely a pro that there was a locker for each bed in the room as well as a little light for each bunk. The kitchen was a good size but the ridges could use some organizing they were stuffed. Lots of area to chill and relax or eat your meals. The pool was very nice with hammocks and other seating it was also shared with the dive shop next door when the do skills which I thought was cool but maybe some don't. There was a cold drinking fountain by the pool which was great for me because the tap water is drinkable but not always very cold so that was a nice bonus. And the location was great sort of in the middle from the beach and greyhound bus stop. A very easy walk no matter where your headed and there is also a Woolworths down the street.

My biggest pet peeve with hostels is not having an outlet for each bunk because they really make a difference and its more annoying if everyones cords and phones all piled in one corner. The showers were a little outdated such as cracked tiles, weak shower heads and I didn't like that all three shared one drain. Kind of sucks if you end up with the drain shower cause everyone's water ends up coming past you. Also really hated not having aircon, it was so hot and we only had two little fans, definitely sweat all night every night.

The atmosphere and the facilites were great

The kitchen and the bathroom could have been cleaner

Nice pool, free activities, young and lively vibe. Cheap surfboard rental and free luggage storage. Friendly staff.

Did not like the smoking table in the social areas as smoke spread throughout the place. Pool could be more clean. Missing a reading light for the bed.
