Bayside House Backpackers is a boutique-style hostel at 14 Punt Road in St Kilda, a few minutes' walk from St Kilda Beach and close to the southern gate of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. Smaller and more intimate than the larger Base/Nomads-style hostels nearby, it offers Dorm Bed and Private Room accommodation with a shared kitchen and laundry. Its position on the edge of St Kilda gives quicker access to the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Shrine of Remembrance than hostels closer to the main Fitzroy Street strip, while still being within walking distance of the beach and Acland Street's cafes. The hostel suits travellers wanting a quieter, smaller-scale budget option over the busier party-hostel atmosphere found elsewhere in St Kilda.
