Samurai Beach Bungalows

Such a peaceful hostel surrounded by dense trees - it feels tranquil and fully immersed in nature. I love the energy of the place. The beach is just a 20-minute walk away. Great facilities and a beautiful open kitchen. Sandy and Mark are so warm and welcoming, and the furry friend Loki is an absolute joy. I met some wonderful people during my short trip to Port Stephens from Sydney. So glad I stayed here, would definitely come back in summer ❤️

One of the best Hostel I ever stayed at. Sandy is a very lovely and caring host, the enviroment is beautifull and chill. Already booked 2 more nights and would definitely come back!

Great stay. A bit hard to find as it is in the middle of nowhere, but overall port stephan’s and this hostel is definitely worth the visit if traveling the east coast!

Ein wirklich sehr schönes Hostel. Das Personal war sehr sehr lieb. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit dort und würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! 😊

J'ai passé un excellent séjour dans cette auberge ! Située en pleine forêt, c'était vaiment un cadre très apaisant. La gérante est très gentille et très accueillante et m’a bien conseillé sur les activités touristiques à faire aux alentours. Elle m'a même permis de profiter des installations extérieures après l'heure de départ, le temps d’attendre mon bus. Un grand merci pour ce séjour agréable!

Really nice hostel and great for nature lovers.

Ich bin seit 4 Monaten in Australien.. und das ist das erste Hostel in dem einfach alles gepasst hat! Es ist sehr sauber.. naturverbunden und in einer super Lage mit direkter Bus Verbindung. Ich habe es dort geliebt und wäre gerne länger geblieben. Danke für die nette Betreuung. Liebe Grüße Romy :)

Such a cool location & atmosphere! Staff are also very kind, approachable, & all-around wonderful. Rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were kept clean & there was a ton of things to do on the property itself. The wildlife is abundant and can be seen within the location. Loki the dog was definitely a highlight - We can’t wait to return :)

We had the most amazing experience at Samurai. It was a lovely break from the city and you really feel at one with nature. Sandy is a lovely lady who shows great care to guests and is genuinely interested in everyone’s plans and adventures! Could recommend this hostel enough!

Excellent séjour, l’endroit est atypique mais très beau et très agréable! C’est propre et convivial. Seuls bémols, il n’y a pas d’air conditionné et il peut faire très chaud, et l’hostel est en retrait de la ville avec un bus qui passe toutes les heures.

Really great host, good price ! The location is very cool because it’s in between trees and bushes, the kitchen is open and to go to the toilet you have to leave your house. For me personally it was a bit too much in the wild, it was exactly how described and expected but I underestimated it especially once it was dark. There is a bus station right on the street which can take you to Nelson bay or to Newcastle so it’s reachable through public transportation, but it leaves “only” every ...
