I had such a wonderful stay at the Port Elliot YHA. From the moment I arrived, the hosts went above and beyond — they remembered me from a previous visit and kindly upgraded me to a quiet room with ocean views and an ensuite, which was exactly what I needed. Their thoughtful check-ins and clear communication made everything feel easy and relaxed. The room itself was simple, clean, and just perfect. What truly stood out though was the shared kitchen and dining area — spacious, beautifully set up with multiple cooking spaces, and incredibly well-equipped. Each morning, I sat with my breakfast overlooking Horseshoe Bay, feeling so nourished by the view and the calm. I’m so grateful for the care and attention to detail that made this stay feel like a homecoming. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing location overlooking horseshoe bay! Room was very clean with fresh linens. Staff were absolutely amazing. I really loved how eco friendly this place was, the free veggie/herb patch out the back, the lemon tree and the chickens! :) Bathroom facilities were ample. This is an old character building so it has its quirks, but it was such a quiet, peaceful and refreshing stay, met some wonderful people, and had some great walks around town! I regret not staying longer so I could spend more time at the beach and catch the cockle train, so I hope to come back next time for a little longer! Great for a weekend away or family trip away!

Lovely clean room with en suite shower. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of seating and dining space.. Big communal area for socializing although some people were clearly wanting to be quiet which stilted some conversation sadly. Great mix of travellers in a most pleasant, well kept environment.

Location opposite the beach and lovely balcony upstairs with ocean views. The whole property was so clean inside and the wooden floorboards gave it so much character. The kitchen/pantry area was well equipped with shelves for your food and cooking utensils. This is the best youth hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I also liked the atmosphere with a number of families staying. Staff were welcoming. Highly recommend and felt very safe as a solo traveller.

Lovely, fantastic location as so close to horseshoe bay, different walking trails and sightseeing views, amazing and friendly reception staff who gives awesome recommendations, last-minute booking for 1 night before a public holiday is really handy, common room allows for a different experience for the family, free pantry and fridge supplies like fresh milk and coffee in the common kitchen

A charming historic building in a perfect location. Safe and secure. Has everything you need for a happy stay. Great kitchen, dining and communal lounge areas. Scrupulously clean rooms and bathrooms. Always my first choice in Port Elliot.
