As one of Adelaide’s oldest and most originally restored Grand old historic mansions, built in 1861, this place is truly beautiful. In Australian years this is very old but it is beautifully renovated to meet all the latest stringent Australian safety standards.


It boasts dorm, single and twin rooms. We have a huge new modern kitchen and a dining area plus a big screen TV and lounge area are available. There are heaps of quiet areas to sit and relax maybe read a good novel.

A hip new travel agent is conveniently located within the hostel to help you with all your travel needs. You can maybe even get some free internet and some inexpensive travel and tour packages.

Directions

We are 2 minutes from the central Bus station. Get off the bus and look north and you shall see us. Walk straight down Canon Street.

We are 8 minutes from the train station by Bus. Our friendly industry partner, the famous Blue Galah Backpackers Hostel can pick you up from the bus station for free on most days (just look out for the driver and his sign). Or catch the skylink shuttle bus which departs regularly.

20 minutes from the airport. If you are alone, I recommend catching the skylink shuttle bus but 2 or more people should catch a taxi because it’s cheaper.
