About Yarmouth Backpackers
Internet Access 24 hour reception
Budget, hostel style accommodation located in the historic seaport of Yarmouth. Yarmouth Backpackers has opened in an historic 1860's former sea merchant's home which we have transformed into a warm and friendly hostel in keeping with the charm and character of the old building. Our 'widow's walk' is one of few remaining in town and offers extensive views across the harbour.
Just 600 metres from the US ferry terminal, (about 10-15 minute walk) the backpackers is also an easy walk to downtown, restaurants, attractions & the waterfront.
We offer private and dormitory rooms, full kitchen facilities, TV room, share bathrooms, sun deck, BBQ, car and bike "parking". (Linen, blankets and towels are included in the price).
Located at the junction of the Lighthouse and Evangeline tourist trails, the town of Yarmouth is just a few minutes drive or short bike ride to some of Nova Scotia's beautiful beaches, lakes and provincial parks. So come visit & just relax - we have plenty of books & movies, or for those wanting to explore - join a tour to experience Nova Scotian culture, history and nature; wander through our historic town and chat to the local lobster fisherman at the wharves; watch the spectacular sunsets; canoe on the lake; rent a bike or just wander along a beach (a dip in the Atlantic is really only for the brave!)
Please note - although your deposit will be taken by credit card, we don't currently accept credit cards for the remainder of the booking payment.
