Elephant Backpacker
Elephant enjoys one of the best locations in Sydney. It’s only a few minutes walk to the city center and Sydney's main attractions like the Opera House, harbour and limitless shopping and dining! We have been refurbishing the hostel and although she is a beautiful old building our rooms, showers, and communal areas are fresh and clean.
