Hostel Details

Ratings

The Redwood Hostel is located within majestic Redwood National Park, a World Heritage Site of extraordinary beauty. A turn of the century pioneer homestead, the hostel easily accommodates 30 guests and has plentiful, informative displays about the area and its original Native American inhabitants. Staff are knowledgeable about local flora and fauna and the best hiking trails among the giant sequoias. Watch for whales from the hostel's spacious decks, or enjoy a driftwood fire on the beach right across the street.
 
The hostel has a large kitchen, well stocked with everything you need for cooking--pots, pans, plates, stoves, toasters, fridges, microwave, coffee maker--even spices. We do sell a few items in our office (such as mac n' cheese, pasta, soup), but for hostellers who wish to take advantage of the kitchen, we encourage you to stop well in advance of reaching us to pick up groceries, as there are not many nearby markets. Our dining room seats 20 and has a great view of the ocean. The hostel living room offers 5 comfy couches and a bookshelf stocked with informative texts on the local area. We also have games, puzzles, and toys for the kids. Our bedrooms include 4 dorm rooms and 2 private rooms, though please note private rooms currently can not be booked online. Please call or email if you are seeking a private room. Also, contact us before booking if you are bringing small children of the opposite gender, as our rooms are generally single-gender. Finally, please note that we do not make all of our beds available online. If the website indicates limited or no availability on your chosen date(s), it is still possible that we have space, but you would need to contact us directly.
