We take a look behind the scenes at two of YHA’s most contrasting sites; the purpose-built sustainable building in The Rocks, where travelers can stay in the heart of Sydney Harbour for a fraction of the cost of the 5-star mega hotels that surround it, and a remote location in Pittwater (just an hour north of Sydney) that is only accessible by boat and where sustainable living is a necessary fact of daily life.
