Hi awesome travellers! Backpack Oz is a family owned and operated business that enjoys a great reputation - and not just from the free Wednesday night dinner and daily happy hour with $3.50 beers!

We are consistently rated a Top 10 Oz Hostel by hostelworld guest reviews - as recently as August 2011!

We understand that you are looking for a clean, safe and fun place to stay where you can meet people and not have to stick your hand in your pocket every 5 minutes!

Cheers Penny, Sam and Tom Twelftree
