Big Blue Backpackers Lodge: Cosy double room for 5 Big Blue Backpackers Lodge Review

We were pretty much there to sleep and we fitted five to a double room to save money, so very cheap stay!

Unique Qualities: I think there was a pool and table tennis, but the bar closed quite early, which was a shame. Close to the waterfront, which is a good thing.
