Quirky accommodation (converted caravan) which wasn't what I was expecting. Friendly, helpful staff. Distance from bathroom facilities a bit of an issue during the night. Very noisy with loading/unloading from the wharf - especially on a still night. But for $80 a night one has to be pragmatic.

A fabulous well run hostel full of interest and fun. Lots of communal rooms and gardens. Basic bikes to borrow for free and so we saw more of the area. 10/15 min walk into town. Home baked scones for breakfast.

I loved this stay, especially the freshly made scones for breakfast, that was such a nice touch! The only downside is that Tombstone isn’t as close to the ferry as it says when booking, this is because of a long term (if not permanent) road closure. So if you are travelling by foot (like me) then it’s quite a walk 20mins from ferry/town. Other than that, the place is lovely.
