Reasonable price, clean room (matched what was advertised), clean facilities.
Amiable staff. A little noisy in the early morning (but this was due to other guests).
Excellent location for beach and nice little cafe down the road.
Overall very satisfactory overnight stay.

This is an excellent hostel. Comfortable and clean rooms, good staff, centrally located and most importantly numerous common areas to meet fellow travellers. Highly recommended place to stay

As a working hostel and with the promise of helping to find work, I was bitterly disappointed with the Wander Inn and the staff's efforts to help or assist with finding work in the area. In this regard, we were mostly left on our own in finding work.

We stayed over a night before enroute to Perth and it was a lovely one. Strategic location with swift check in, walking distance to cafes, eateries and other scenic places like the beach etc. Recommemded.

Happy with the accommodation as it was only one night. Rules of quiet after 10pm could be enforced a bit better but overall happy with the facilities and closeness to the event we travelled for

At first sight I was nearly chockad. It was not any other hostel I’ve ever ben. The lines of clothes in the garden was not a decent view. In the kitchen, so many stuff on the table. It seemed like the hostel was overcrowded. I couldn’t find parking place until another guest left the place. But the staff were very nice and friendly.

"Best hostel i’ve stayed in for a while!"

What a lovely place to stay! The staff were amazing and tremendously helpful.
I wish I could have stayed for a bit longer! Definitely want to go back again.

The UNCOVERED bread & rolls they have available are kept in a large plastic tub, with a lid that doesn't fit, so dust, bugs & airboure germs will be all over them. If the tub becomes empty, you top up from 1 of the 2 huge blanket bags full of bread & rolls stored under the counter. They get ALREADU STALE rolls & bread, FREE from bread shops!!

Initially I was only going to spent 1 night at the Wander Inn but this extended to 2 nights, the 2nd night not booked. This wasn't a problem & in fact I had the 4 bed mixed dorm room all to myself for both nights.

I have not stayed in a backpackers before & have often heard stories about backpackers being riddled with bed bugs etc, but the Wander Inn was completely fine. The building is old, but it serves it's purpose adequately.

The only things I didn't really approve of were the squeaky doors which frequently caused a disturbed nights sleep (a simple fix) and the musty/stale sweat smells in the dorm & lounge rooms. Other than that, all was well
