If you're thinking of coming to Katoomba to enjoy the beautiful landscape, and maybe do a few activities then Kangaroo BakPak is the place for you. After perfecting our Sydney city hostel we just knew we could give travelers and outdoor enthusiasts a great experience amongst the trees as well. Everyone who stays with Kangaroo BakPak says the same thing 'It feels like a home', and that is exactly what we meant it to be. Our dorm beds are semi-private, allowing guests to feel more comfortable in their rooms, whilst maintaining a social atmosphere. We are also the only hostel that has free bed lockers with electrical sockets inside, so if you are charging your new iPhone you can go exploring without worrying about loosing it. Our shower facilities are not what you would expect from a hostel, ours would be suited better in a high end hotel, and we even have a bath! The kitchen has been designed to be spacious and with enough utensils for a chef, so you can easily cook your favorite dishes without worrying about the normal hostel kitchen crowd.

Our unique hostel is only 10 minutes walk from waterfalls, cliffs and the great outdoors, and we can assure you there is a lot to do:

Caving
Abseiling
Hiking
Canyoning
Bouldering
Rock Climbing
Mountain Biking
Horse Riding
Fire Pit Nights
Unusual and interesting shops
Compelling Cafes
5 minutes walk from Coles/Liquor stores for food/drink
A movie theater if your feet are tired
Regular festivals and events in the town
We will even teach you how to juggle if you want

Many people who come to Katoomba regret that they did not stay longer, come today and see for yourself.
