The house was quaint and adorable, with very nice facilities. I could tell the owner had put a lot of work into making the place feel cozy. The double bed room was amazing, and I loved the property, inside and out. Everything was very clean and in working order, and the bed was super comfy. It was a fantastic place to rest my head after a long day of travelling and car problems. I would stay there again!

I had a (self-inflicted) problem on arrival, and the level of hospitality of the staff to sort this out was overwhelming. Thanks! Everything else was fine. The room was excellent (cleanliness, temperature, comfort). The outdoor dining area and the food were great. I had several meals, and spent a lot of time there. The area is nicely set up to meet fellow travellers. The frequent shuttle bus into the town Centre is great, and I used it multiple times. I can thoroughly recommend the Summer House.

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Great areas to hang out with other travelers. Rusty's market next to it on the weekends. In general a great place to stay, I reeboked this hostel 6 or 7 times because the hostel suited me well. I tried many of the different rooms (different sizez) and they were all good.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
