This room comes with private basin and shared bathroom. Some rooms are located around the outdoor swimming pool.

Most of these rooms are located in the courtyard around the pool– perfect for an early morning wake up dip. The bathrooms are down the passage, but there are basins in the room for brushing of teeth and hair. A double room has a standard double bed and a twin room has two single beds… best suited for those not cuddling up at night😊. Great backpacker prices on these rooms to be part of the action.

Converted from dormitory rooms these massive deluxe rooms are spacious and comfortable. The rooms have high ceilings which increase the sense of space and consist of a king size bed with a single bunk on top so they are suitable for couples, friends, or families. Each room also has a desk and chair, so they lend themselves to digital nomads who have work to do. With a digital safe, cupboard, reading light and a basin in the room these are now our most popular rooms.
