HISTORY
It all started in 2001, Michelle and David had explored the world and seen how backpacker hostels were amazing places to stay and meet people while travelling, so coming home to Nova Scotia, decided to open their own. It started as a few dorm rooms and over the last 15 years has grown into 4 dorms rooms, 2 private rooms and attached café (alteregos).
Michelle is still running the backpackers and has had many staff from the community and all over the world working there who have added their own personal touches to the place over the years. Currently Steph from Australia is adding the international flavour. Book your room now to join the family!
