Facilities were clean, stocked with all that we needed. Sitting out front of the verandah watching tge storm go over was a delightful highlight. Kitchen was self contained fully stocked, enough for my family and three other international visitors to cook. My kids and I enjoyed playing board games while it rained. Location was perfect and suited our needs. Barabara and her companions were charming. We enjoyed local walks and looking for kangaroos.

Nothing really, everything was exceptional and met our needs. Building and furniture were old but comfy and clean.

It's the second time we have stayed at Anglesea Backpackers, and we highly recommend it. The room has space for all, the living room is comfortable with a TV, board games and puzzles, and the location is perfect. We are 5 min driving from the beach and 1h30 from 12 apostles. The ladies are amazing, and they are always ready to help us with anything we need.

Needed a place to stay in Anglesea for work for 1 night. Everything was really expensive so decided to take a private room in the backpackers which was the most affordable I could find (except for camping which wasn't an option). Bedding and towel were provided, staff member/owner was wonderful, the wood fire was lit so the communal space was nice and warm, and they had put a little electrical heater in the bedroom so it wasn't too cold there. Bed was comfortable and I had a good night sleep. There was no one else staying so I had the whole place to myself!

The interior is a bit dated, but honestly, that doesn't really matter! I also would've expected to be able to find something cheaper than $135 - but this was by far the cheapest in Anglesea, so I guess the price is fair.

An ideal place to stay to stop or use even as a base when exploring the Great Ocean Road. Kangaroos were even seen hopping by from the terrace in the morning. Close to the centrum/beach on foot. Friendly owner, spacious kitchen/common place. Good opportunity to meet up and chat with other travellers.

Our stay at Anglesea Backpackers was better than expected! It was a perfect stop for two older travelers who wanted something quiet and convenient but still homey. ABP was all that and more. The rooms were comfortable, the bathroom, though shared, was clean and never too busy, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we could have needed (though there are several dinner and carryout spots close by). Barbara was so helpful and even drove us to the start of an awesome cliff hike that we walked back into town. This place really has everything and is such a great value!

We didn't realized the property is technically closed from 10am-1pm for cleaning, it was not a problem for us since Barbara took us on our hike but it might be better advertised for folks who want to chill there during the day.

Large common area and well-equipped kitchen.

I was a little concerned that there were only one toilet, shower and bathroom sink for up to ten residents but that wasn't a problem at the time as there were only three of us.

This property felt very homely and comfortable. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The lounge room was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. It is in convenient location.

Unfortunately the TV wasn’t working …. Not that we were there to watch TV. However it was pouring rain and we would have liked to watch tv or some movies.

Basically the main house comes with small budget friendly rooms and shared fully equipped kitchen, meals area, lounge, toilet and shower facility, wifi. Only one room comes with ensuite which we stayed. Use of fireplace and washing machine is an additional fee. Fresh pillows, linen, blankets and heater in our ensuite room are also provided. Comfy bed. The owner lives at the back (also the office) of the main property which is convenient in case you forgot to bring your room key. Parking is available in front of the property.

There were limited place to eat. By 4pm most of the cafes in the area were closed. It would be better if there were more choice of food. There were only three shops that were opened Asian, fish and chip and pizza. It was at least a 30 mins wait for the fish and chip. 45mins wait for the pizza place.

Such a great set up, thoughtful touches & really friendly & welcoming staff! Very comfortable bed, warm. Would definitely stay again!

Nothing! But reviews had mentioned "paying for heating", this means you have to buy firewood for the woodheater for the main living area. But the bedroom itself had a small heater and was warm & cosy for myself & my son.

The host was very welcoming and showed us around the house. We were lucky enough to be the only guests the night we stayed. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans as well as a few condiments and spices. The houses has a nice charm, and is painted in soothing beachy colors.

Everything was good.
