A family owned and managed business

(Mondo Sojourn Pty. Ltd. ACN 097 716 188)

Adelaide’s best backpackers hostel

Commenced trading in early January 2004 as "Adelaide's Shakespeare Backpackers International Hostel”. Everyone knows us as "SHAKEYS".

In May 2001, we came up with the brilliant idea to open a backpackers hostel in the heart of Adelaide City after lengthy consultation with company director, Dan. With little persuasion, other members of the extended family decided to invest in the venture.2 yrs later Dan decided to use all his free time plus blood sweat and tears to establish the second hostel.An instant success, he managed to get together a bunch of hard working people to manage it and we havent looked back.
