Coffs Harbour YHA Hostel, Coffs Harbour, Australia

Where we are: Coffs Harbour is one of the smaller, but most intersting cities on the Eastern Coast of Australia. It offers nice beaches, a vivid nightlife and a brand-new YHA-Hostel. What you get: The hostel lies very close to the beaches and has a lot to offer - surf board rental, a washing room, a well equipped kitchen and - a very friendly staff. Despite the size (around 100 beds), we felt very comfortable at this house. The security is exemplary (you open all doors only with your security card). We paid 60 A$ for a double.

Rating: The restrooms were very clean and an agreable place to be. No graffiti, no damaged facilities. High standard and well maintained - 3,5 of 5 golden toilets! [Technorati Tags: Restroom - Bath - toilet - Australia - Coffs - YHA]

Hippo Lodge, Durban, South Africa

Where we are:
Hippo Lodge is an island of tranquility in the busy and overhelming atmosphere of South African port Durban. Located on a hill, far away of trouble, noise and bad mood.

What you get:
The lodge, in other words a backpacker hostel, is one of these south african surprises you will like - lovely decorated huts, a pool and a bar, and a fortress secure home. A double is yours for 15 US$, and if you have a small car, you can park inside. A supermarket is close, but the beach front is too far away to go by feet.



Rating: All the restrooms are shared and most times you have to leave your hut / room and go outside to get there. You won't regret it as there are spacious, toilet paper providing and invitating to take a shower. The design keeps space with the overall theme at this lodge - yes, you guessed it, hippos. This is good average and therefore 3 of 5 golden toilets!
