About Backpack Oz

Free Wi-Fi - Cheap bar - Daily activities - Free breakfast - Tourism accredited - Free bike hire - Family operated

Hi awesome travellers! Backpack Oz is a family owned and operated business that enjoys a great reputation - and not just from the free Wednesday night dinner and daily happy hour with $3.50 beers!

We are consistently rated a Top 10 Oz Hostel by hostelworld guest reviews - as recently as August 2011!

We understand that you are looking for a clean, safe and fun place to stay where you can meet people and not have to stick your hand in your pocket every 5 minutes!

Cheers Penny, Sam and Tom Twelftree

* Highly recommended by thousands of past guests

* All rooms and common areas have A/C

* Kitchens and bathrooms cleaned daily (and we mean really clean - check the ratings!)

* Fantastic city location - walk to premier café/pub districts, Central Market and CBD

* Free WiFi 24/7

* Free pick ups/drop offs to 'bus' and 'train' station (not airport)

* Well trained and helpful staff who really want you to enjoy your stay and make the most of Adelaide

We hope you choose to stay with us and leave with fond memories of both Adelaide and Backpack Oz.

We are by no means the biggest, but come see why we are the best.

Cheers!

Sam, Penny & Tom Twelftree
