    • I can really recommend this hostel. Michael and Sarah are amazing. Sarah told us very enthusiastic about the hikes we could do in the environment of Pittwater. The environment only is really worth the trip to the hostel. But also the hostel is worth traveling to it. Michael took me, and some other guests, on an awesome sailing race in the bay. It was awesome to be part of the winning team: all of us were even asked to take control of the boat on a certain moment. The 'social time' after the race, completed with home-brew and really nice crisps, made the experience unforgettable.
