What I liked is you can't enter the property so easily because there's a gate/door with a code

Had the pleasure of staying at the happy apple for a few nights over my trip. Such a chilled out hostel with great facilities. Rooms are basic but have all necessities. Huge outdoor area perfect for chilling out after all the local adventures
