Reviews of YHA Pittwater Eco (Sydney)

  • "A YHA with a difference in the most stunning location (..) Great value for money. The managers Katie and Bergia were so welcoming and helpful, giving advice on walks and bringing up coffee in the morning. I felt so at home here. The kitchen is large and well-supplied, and the lounge area is really cozy with a huge fireplace. I did some fantastic walks around the national park from the YHA and I highly recommend the ferry from Palm Beach to the top of the peninsula too." – Katy
  • "Love this eco retreat. It's the perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature and be out on the water kayaking or for a refreshing swim. Thanks to Amy for the warm welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and look forward to a longer stay soon!" - Dulcie
