I have no problem at all with the guys from Base - from my limited dealings with them, theyre a friendly bunch that love their jobs. But the consolidation of the Australia/NZ market is, in my mind, a tad worrying. Nomads, Base and YHA are effectively omnipresent in the region. Call me old fashioned if you want but competition is better for consumers and the industry than inching closer and closer to oligarchy.
That said, Ive stayed at Tin Billys and it was pretty good - only real complaint was low ceilings in the rooms which made the rooms very hot and feel very crowded. Bar was good fun.
