I had a great time in the hostel in the hostel, in my three weeks I got to Learn cleaning and housekeeping skills to a high standard, and met Pippa and her sister Ramona along with other family and I felt so welcomed and apart of the hostel. the hostel is a great town with a beautiful Cathedral and Museum that you can visit with some amazing ship wreck history, and the Hostel is right the hostel beach! Pippa is thorough in teaching so I was quick to learn and was never lost on a task, it always ran smoothly and very organised, Thank you Pippa and Ramona, hope to visit again

My three weeks in the hostel have been an amazing experience! Pippa offers you the opportunity to really become part of her hostel while developing your hospitality skills to a high standard. the hostel is a small town that offers beautiful beaches and is a great place for kite- and windsurfing. Coronation beach is only a 30-minute drive from the hostel and there are some great spots in the hostel itself as well. After working in the morning, you will have most of the afternoon off which is when the wind picks up. Your tasks for each day are very clear which I really appreciated.

I have mixed feelings about this experience. I've created some great connections and unforgetable memories while being in the hostel. That's a quiet artsy, pretty town although you have to beware of some shady people around there. I enjoyed my stay. However if you want to take part of this experience you have to know that you have to be really really comitted to what you do at all times. Every little mistake is bad for Pippas buisness. If you don't do things exactly right you can get kicked out.

My time at the hostel was wonderful! The location of the hostel is perfect, right across the street from parks and the ocean. the hostel is a very nice town, there was always stuff to do, festivals, art shows, biking. Pippa has very high standards, but she takes the time to train you and explain so the tasks are not difficult. And the work is very organized, you know what you have to do each day in the morning. I met great people at the hostel and had a great stay here!
