Very noisy, hard to sleep due to guests coming and going late into the night and deliberating on the front veranda, right outside guest rooms, on what the door code was. Very broad mix of clientele.

Very small hostel, most rooms are directly onto lounge or shower areas due to this you do get general noise eg TV, talking, doors slamming. This is between 8am -10pm outside these hours is hostel quiet time. So although good quiet time policy at hostel if you want to read or get away from noise in room, earplugs are needed. Great location to beach few minutes walk. Easy 10 min walk from or to bus station to get back to main Terminal for buses and trains. 10 mins walk to Coles or Aldi. Bunbury very easy to walk around. If using google for directions halve how long it says takes to walk places in general all closer then looks on map. Overall great place if you want to be near beach and walk everywhere. Just a warning only 3 showers, not a problem while I stayed but in busier time would be interesting! Pleasant stay.

Excellent stay lady told us we all we needed to know, and that we had to be quite after 10pm and if we wanted to watch tv we had to go to the back TV room down stairs Well she went to bed ?? And the rest of the guests ladies only, turned up the tv and talked very loudly until midnight it was very frustrating as our room (10) was a couple of feet away from the TV and we had just got off a train after working all day. we start work at 5am, & had to get up very early to get back on the road again the next morning, And when we got into bed myself and my hubby was attacked by bugs we itched all night, omg and in the shower the drain cover was full of black hair 😱 thank you

Nice hostel good location
Had a one night stay at Dolphin Retreat which was quite enjoyable. Staff were excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. Facilities were all clean and tidy as was our room. The bed was not the most comfortable but for one night was completely fine. The complimentary extras included in our stay were very generous although we didn't have time to take advantage of any!! Would stay again in the future.
