I used to stay in this very hostel back in my early 20s, but I’ve never stayed in one with my kids. I’m here to see if it’s a good idea.
There’s someone running naked through the youth hostel. He just careened clothes-free past a group of Dutch backpackers staring at their phones and is now making his way towards the shared kitchen, not a care in the world.
This is the thing about staying with your family at a youth hostel in one of Australia’s foremost backpacker destinations: what’s supposed to happen is that all the partying holidaymakers will annoy us with their noise. What actually happens is that my crazy kids disturb the nice backpackers who are sitting around reading books and trying to catch a tan.We end up spending most of our free time in the shared areas, soaking up the atmosphere.
The apartment is stacked with everything a young family could need, from a large fridge and all the standard kitchen utensils to a washing machine and piles of spare linen .
