Emus Beach Resort

Across the street from a bus stop, this laid-back hostel is 3 minutes’ walk from the beach, 11 minutes’ walk from the Emu Park Art Gallery and 12 km from Keppel Beach Marina.

Amenities include free parking, a BBQ area and an outdoor pool, as well as a bar with a big-screen TV. There’s also a communal kitchen, plus laundry facilities.
