HI Mosquito Creek - Wilderness Hostel

哈哈哈就沒有網絡沒有電房間沒有廁所沒有自來水哈哈哈相當原始。哈哈哈也是一種特別的體驗。

My son and I really enjoyed our night at the mosquito Creek wilderness hostel. It is obviously a hostel and has no running water but nevertheless, whilst excepting all limitations was a fun and charming state. For me the biggest asset the hostel has is its location and the communal area with a wood fired stove together with the woodfired sauna. it gives a great opportunity to meet fellow travellers and to share stories that one simply does not get in a hotel . The hostel itself is very clean , although being a hostel except that everything is fairly rustic. There is a separate toilet block which is remote from the dormitories so a very short walk is required to go to the toilet. The toilets are essentially a drop pit so they are what they are, but they are clean and relatively new. It is what it is. You’re not going to die. The communal area is fantastic and there is an outdoor Boma where you can light a fire and share stories with fellow travellers whilst looking up at the sky (if you are lucky). The scenery is fairly stunning and is it any time you get stressed about not having luxuries I suggest you have a word with yourself, get real and remind yourself you are sleeping in the middle of nature is grandeur. It does not get any better than this.

This is NOT a party hostel. It is a great wilderness hostel where you actually talk to people, and sit around a campfire or light up the wood fired sauna and gaze at stars or the moon, rather than stare blankly at your smartphone like other hostels. It is small, 2 coed dorms each having 12 beds, but even the dorms are quiet due to the absence of late night partiers. Oh, due to Covid, each cabin is somewhat divided into 2, 6 person sleeping areas for a total of 12 people in each of 2 cabins. A decent kitchen with fridge, stove and cooking utensils, a common area, and great manager (Richard) make me recommend this hostel highly for those looking for a rustic, warm, yet comfortable night’s sleep. And the outhouses are CLEAN and have no smell at all!! No worries! I really like the upgraded, wood burning sauna and highly recommend trying it. You might even see a bear bum or a bare bum around the sauna:) Haha! Both exist in this wonderful place!! Nature at it's absolute finest! Last thing I forgot to mention, there are 2 private cabins if you like with a shared kitchen between the 2 private sleeping areas if that works better for you. And you can still use the sauna and campfire pit, etc.
