Annie was more than happy to help us out when possible. The beach house had the best views from the dorm that ive ever seen from a backpackers. Beautiful walks along the old railway track and the canoeing was magnificent through eden adventures. Restaurants and supermarket 10 mins away and place was really well kept and clean.

I think this is the best place to stay in Wilderness. It s near the city and the supermarkets and the hike over the trainrails. The dorm room had a wonderful view. The bathrooms and the kitchen are a bit small. Especially when you are in the backpackers season I think it might be too small. The excursions are quite... More

Also known as Annie's Place, The Beach House is conveniently located a stone's throw from the seemingly endless sandy beach and an easy walk from a small local shopping & restaurant centre. The large front dorms are light and airy thanks to the massive floor to ceiling front windows/door. If its not morning sunshine you're after, the remainder of the... More

Wilderness is a cool place, and this was a very cool place to explore it. The staff were excellent, and were a great source of local knowledge. Location was great - really well placed to get to the beach or walk the abandoned railway, which goes to town in one direction and to a wonderful and unique cave in the... More

Great location with views all along the coastline, not to far from the village centre either. This place has a great vibe and brilliant areas to hang out. The bar is always lively as the locals come and join in with the drinking. Very good food is available, especially the pizza. Service is good but sometimes hard to find. Internet... More

Right on the beach with amazing views of the coast, I would have said this was more like a B&B than a backpackers, my boyfriend and I went for a double room very clean and comfy. Definitely one of the best backpackers I have ever stayed in. The location is not too far from the centre and well worth the... More

We stayed here in January 2013. Great location, slightly elevated from the beach but only a 2 minute walk to the waves. We had a double room inside the main house which for the money we paid, we could not fault. Annie (who we dealt with) was fantastic, she was very helpful and honest with places to go and things...
