PORT ELLIOT<br />
If you’re after a good crash site and don’t mind<br />
bunking, <strong>South</strong> Australia has plenty of great<br />
hostels to choose from that will cost next to<br />
nothing for the night.<br />
<strong>South</strong> Australia’s hostels are friendly and<br />
welcoming, with a handful found in the heart of<br />
the CBD, close to public transport and in stumbling<br />
distance of a local pub. Outside of the city, you can<br />
head to the coastal epicentre that is Glenelg and<br />
regional centres, including Penneshaw, Tanunda,<br />
Berri, Waikerie, Port Elliot and Mount Gambier.<br />
There’s mostly a choice between comfortable<br />
air-conditioned single, twin and dorm rooms with<br />
the option to choose all-male or all-female dorms.<br />
The basics of linen, a hot shower, TV, laundry<br />
facilities and communal kitchens can all generally<br />
be expected.<br />
When booking, check what freebies are included.<br />
Some hostels offer free bike hire, others free Wi-Fi,<br />
city tours, DVD hire and beach shuttle buses; some<br />
places include breakfast or dinner, while others have<br />
daily happy hours!<br />
Staff are helpful and can offer good advice on what<br />
to see and do while in town – some hostels are even<br />
owned by backpackers who forgot to go home.<br />
Hostels aside, there are plenty of other choices<br />
in <strong>South</strong> Australia. A cosy bed and breakfast;<br />
comfortable motels; caravan and camping sites;<br />
farmstays and stations; wilderness sanctuaries; and<br />
restored lighthouses and fire stations.<br />
