Yaraandoo Hostel

Located at Somerset, Yaraandoo bears the indigenous name for the Southern Cross constellation. Situated high on the hill at Somerset overlooking the ocean and Table Cape. The design has captured the vista of the sea and many of the rooms have been sited to capture the best of the views. All these spacious rooms are single with an en-suite, with many looking onto the extensive landscaped gardens. The warm friendly ambience is evidenced by the close involvement with the local community and Yaraandoo is seen as a hub of activity in this seaside town. From the friendly café in the entrance to the wonderful lounge rooms overlooking Table Cape, this facility says “welcome” to residents and visitors. The quality of the meals is a feature of this facility, as the smaller size of Yaraandoo allows a home-like menu, with local seasonal vegetables a feature. We have a comprehensive training and development calendar to support our employees to deliver an excellent service.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing assess the quality of care at all government-funded aged care homes. Based on these assessments, each home receives a Star Rating as a simple way of showing information about the quality of care they provide and how they compare to others.

If you pay a refundable accommodation deposit or a refundable accommodation contribution, they may be subject to retention. Any daily accommodation payment you make may also be subject to indexation. Learn more about aged care home costs and fees.

Specialisations with a check mark symbol are verified by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Each verification lasts for 3 years from the date it was granted. Once it expires, providers can apply again if they want to continue to be recognised for a specific specialisation on the Find a Provider tool.
