    Better than some motels I’ve stayed at! Black Sheep Backpackers has a perfect location, friendly staff and is extremely clean. Excellent security with keypad codes for rooms and bathrooms. The rooms are perfect sized and heated, and the full shared kitchen has everything you need. Highly recommend to anyone!!

    The staff were super friendly and a weekly In-house deal of $260 a week was a BARGAIN! What a spot, clean as and the bed was comfy and had everything you needed.

    I would recommend this place if you want a private room for just 2 people in a backpackers. The facilities were really good and the staff were very accommodating. Easy check-in and check-out with early communication what is expected, what app to download. Especially with what to do with late check-ins.
    6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
    Very expensive for what you get. We expected the shared bathroom and toilets, although the facilities weren’t great and were very cramped. The room was fine, basic but had what we needed. There was a small hot pool and sauna which was nice. Not a great vibe, felt fairly unwelcome when we arrived. Overall wouldn’t recommend as there are much nicer places for similar cost (if you are getting a private room) nearby.
