Yamba YHA
Our first video features Shane Henwood who loved hostelling so much he decided to build his very own hostel. This hostel is Yamba YHA in NSW, a great stop off between Sydney and Brisbane. We’ll let Shane tell you his remarkable story himself. Now where did I put that surf board?
Sydney Central YHA
This second video features Goichi, one of the Japanese staff members who works at Sydney Central YHA, a 5-star, heritage listed backpacker’s hostel like you’re never seen before. If you’re looking for job satisfaction, then it looks like Goichi has found his home in Sydney – and what a great choice that is!
