FAQs

The following questions have been answered for you by Dorset House Backpackers...

What are your breakfast options?: Our breakfast options are breakfast packs so you can buy these and eat breakfast at your own convenience. It costs $6.50 for a toast pack which includes 2 slices of toast, spreads, juice and a small container of milk. A cereal pack is $7.50 and has cereal instead of toast and also a small fruit pack. Both of these breakfast options can be bought at reception.
