Ubirr/Border Store Hostel

Kakadu National Park


A most welcome addition to Kakadu's accommodation scene, this new hostel out the back of the iconic Border Store opened in May 2019, and has campsites as well as simple but good dorm rooms, a family room with a double and two single beds, and a communal kitchen and bathrooms. It's a rare backpacker outpost in this part of the world.
