We opted for the Swansea Backpackers since other local accomodation was either booked out, or appeared very expensive given the location or amenities. Obviously a backpackers hostel was quite a risk from a boomer’s perspective. We believe that this place is a heaven for backpackers. It was abuzz with young people of many nationalities and backgrounds. The atmosphere was very positive. A pity we were 40 years past our “best before” dates. We found the young guests to be very respectful, and very quiet from 10 pm and in the mornings. Our room was clean, and the shared facilities were in acceptable condition. Kitchen food prep area could do with resurfacing. With the high intensity living comes high intensity maintenance, which was lacking a bit. The current owners are attempting to catch up. Hope that works.

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.

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.

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!
