I stayed in a family room with my husband and 2 brothers.  Nothing was too much trouble for the owner and there was a fantastic vibe within the backpackers.  We only stayed one night, but would have liked to stay longer.  While it is not a five star accommodation, neither is the price - it was clean, the bed was comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you a great experience!

We stayed one night in our caravan, unpowered, grassed site. Great value at $25 per night for 2 people. Very clean amenities. Bottle shop, cafe and tavern on site. Close to all that Swansea has to offer - walk to town and beaches. Wineries a short drive away.

Caravan one night stop over in Swansea, Tasmania

We enjoyed our stay. Friendly manager and staff, the kitchen is is clean and handy, the living room is spacious and cosy, and the hostel is situated right next to a bakery, a restaurant and a bottle shop. On the top of these Chris is a very lovely guy - we recommend this place!

Very nice stay!

The new owner Chris is very helpful and friendly. Place is clean and lots of space to chill. Kitchen is big and many equipment. We slept in our Campervan, outside was quiet and good atmosphere. Even if your just up for a hot shower for 5$ - you're welcome here!

New Management, cozy place and nice atmosphere

This hostel has only recently come under new management. You are greeted straight away by the lovely owner. The place is so clean and tidy. Kitchen is great with lots of space. Bedrooms are clean and so comfortable. Toilets and showers are also kept very clean and tidy.
There is a real homely atmosphere to the place. Definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed in.

Lovely Hostel

We found this hostel after we finished our 5 hours hiking of the wineglass bay. Swansea is a very small town about 50 minutes away from Coles Bay. There are not much to do here, except for resting and getting ready for you next adventure. The town has 2 grocery stores, bakeries, a liquer store, etc.. The hostel is clean and has a nice vibe, and staff are very friendly. There is also a free parking  for your car. 

A good rest spot in the middle of nowhere

It's a cheap place to stay, but it could have been cleaner. The kitchen was fairly in need of a good clean, not to mention the little office. The bathroom had minimal facilities. Hey guys, there needs to be sanitary bags and disposal bins in all the female toilet cubicles. Bathroom floor stayed wet with puddles of water all day. Also how about replacing the very old and dingy linen. It wouldn't take much to improve this place a bit.

ordinary

Kitchen:   Rubbish bins (Otto bins), 2, in kitchen full and overflowing while cooking dinner.  Not emptied till later that evening.  No detergent, had to ask for some.  No tea towels and no racks to hang them.  
Room:  Bedside lamps had no globes and overhead light very dim.  Couldn't get globes, they brought in a standard lamp.  
Bathroom:  Little privacy in shower, the partition between showers is low, not very comfortable if privacy is preferred.  The shower wet almost the whole floor.  No bench to put things.
Signage:  ALL signs had some sort of error, grammatical or spelling
Price:  Expensive.  Cost more than each of the 2 country pubs we stayed in on previous nights, and they provided included breakfast and NO rubbish

Spend as little time there as possible

It’s an unusual place. Good price but undecorated rooms. The person at reception was drunk but friendly. We had to make our own beds and the mattresses were old but comfortable enough. It’s right next to a drive-in bottle shop which doesn’t make a very good first impression and out the back is a camper van graveyard which adds to it. But on the plus side there were two other families staying and it generally had a nice feeling amongst the guests.

Strange, friendly, grim

Service: 1.5/5 - not easy to get an extra if you are cold which you will be. Bathroom and communal areas dirty.
Price: 2.5/5 - expensive for what is essentially a hostel.
Room: 1/5 - like a prison cell. 
Location: 4/5 - this is the only thing this place has going for it - the car park is better than the interior.
