Kanga House is the number one backpacker budget accommodation in Sydney, Kings Cross - if you are looking for a place with great atmosphere, clean rooms and everything a traveller needs, you've come to the right spot.

Kanga House is totally family owned and operated and we were one of the first hostels in Kings Cross, right in the heart of Sydney, long before the area developed into the Backpackers Mecca it is today. Centrally located, we are only a "hop, skip and a jump" away from everything. So please have a look around and see what we have to offer.

Besides our great location, Kanga features great facilities and magnificent views.

In our hostel you can cook your own tucker in our fully fitted kitchen or simply relax in our 24 hr cable TV lounge. For the real Aussie life style have a beer and a BBQ in our sunny courtyard. And to make it easy to stay in touch with your friends and family back home, we offer free Internet access to our guests.

And of course there is a laundry with brand new washing machines and dryers as well as modern showers and toilets.

To make the best of Sydney you need to be in the best location.We’re it. Our amazing views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and city skyline show you just how close we are to Australia’s premier landmarks. For your security we have a set of coded locks leading to the bedrooms and at night we have a coded lock on the front door. Dorms have individual door locks and lockers. A security deposit box is available at Reception.

But we are not in the heavy traffic and noise of the city proper but a short walk away on quiet, tree-lined Victoria Street in one of Sydney’s most interesting suburbs, Kings Cross. It’s always been the heartland for backpackers because it’s so convenient and so liveable.

You are not swallowed up in a big hostel in a busy city and you are not stranded miles away from what you really want to do and see in Sydney. Big fridges, oven, cooktops, microwaves, toasters, dishes, pots and pans – all available free of charge to enhance your dining experience. Just wash, dry and put away when finished.
