Kitchen and Food Storage Area
Secret Garden has two wonderful and tidy guest kitchens. This includes gas stove cook tops, microwaves, toasters and kettles . On Sundays we provide free pancakes between 9 am – 11 am. Next to the kitchen is a large communal dry food storage area. In addition you’ll also find commercial-grade fridges to keep your food cool and fresh!
The Garden
Secret Garden Backpackers gets its name from the huge garden courtyard located at the back of the hostel. It is over 150 square meters and is surrounded by a beautiful rose bush and other cool plants. It is the perfect place to enjoy the Sydney sunshine and meet new friends over a few beers after a day of sightseeing. Also, make sure you don’t miss our free weekly BBQ in the garden. We have both internal and external seating so you can still enjoy it during wet weather.
Many of our social events are hosted here – including our awesome pre-parties!
Free Unlimited WiFi
We have high speed WiFi infrastructure installed throughout the entire hostel to ensure that no area of the hostel is missed. Plus, unlike most other Sydney hostels, it’s 100% free with no download restrictions! How good is that! We have 10 access points throughout the hostel so you so you can connect and stay in touch with friends and family easily!
Secret Garden Reception
The Reception Desk is open from 8 am – 8 pm weekdays and from 9 am – 7 pm weekends. Our friendly and experienced reception team have a wealth of knowledge so make sure you put it to good use! Plus, keep an eye on the events board behind reception to see what events the hostel has organised for the week!

Above all else, the security of our guests is our highest priority. CCTV is in operation throughout the building and we follow a strict ‘Guests Only’ policy within the hostel. We use a sophisticated bi-lock key mechanism on all doors.
