Offering (some)
ocean views, this big, bright hostel in the heart of Cottesloe is just a short skip from the
sand. Rooms are basic, but all have private bathrooms, and you'll probably just be here to
sleep given the great location. Hire a bike to get around locally, or take advantage of the
hostel's free bodyboards and surfboards.
