Beautiful location, unique experience sleeping in the safari tents Not fancy, but excellent value for the money you are paying. Third time I have been staying there.

Stayed in April 2024

The tents could use some better and more clean fans, as it gets a little hot. Kitchen was not the cleanest. Wi-fi was not the best in many areas.

Fun and interesting little accomodation. Cool details. We stayed in one of the tents with a Roof. There is Good bathrooms and toilets. Good view from the Common area.

Good location 10mins walk from the rock wallabies, also close to the fort walks where you can see wallabies. Friendly host, very informative and welcoming.

Felt a bit dated in terms of decor and a few of the walls had been damaged. Air con was quite loud, which was slightly annoying during the night.

Good location, that had bus stops nearby. Room was a good size!

I went there with no expectations so I was happy with what I got

The staff was really really friendly!!! The hostel provides everything you need e.g. Towels, Kitchen stuff and it was really good located. Also I got to see a free bird show in the morning😊 And I would recommend hiring a car from the hostel!

The fan was sometimes insuficient for the weather, otherwise it was great!

The staff is awesome and you feel like you're really in the middle of nature

Broken Zip on the tent. Enabling mosquito's to enter the tent.

Good location. Facilities adequate.

Stayed in March 2024

The AC made a lot of noise. The curtains didn't make the room very dark.

Spacious 2 person room, AC worked well (but made a lot of noise), nice hot showers.

Stayed in January 2024

I booked a bed in a 2-bed and a 4-bed dormitory, both with AC and fan The dormitory is wide and large enough, so you do not feel packed at all. The bed is a single bed, large enough, with a fair enough good mattress. Towel is provided. For each of these dorms (and the entire hostel), you have access to many sanitory facilities (1 full bathroom (shower, toilet, sink), 1 shower + sink, 1 shower, 1 toilet + sink, 1 toilet). All were clean. You also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, open from 7am to 10pm. Breakfast available for 10aud (cereals, toasts, fruit, yoghurt, juice) The common spaces are very nice. The WiFi is good. Located in the heart of Nelly Bay. 50m away from the main beach. 1.3km away from the ferry terminal / supermarket. The owner (Ian) is very chilled and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay.

Style

Stayed in February 2024

The bed was a bit old. Pillows could also have an upgrade.

Ian and Greg are amazing hosts, their tips and knowledge of the island was amazing. Their willingness to share their wisdom is very kind. All the facilities are very clean, and the rooms have heaps of space. I stayed in a mixed 4 bedroom and did not feel at all crowded, no bunk beds so that was great. The location is handy, half way to Nelly Bay and half way to Horseshoe bay. A couple of meters away from wallabies and really close to Alma beach.

The weather was super hot and the tents in the back does not have AC, and the fan was weak/not enough :(

Good location, quiet hostel. Fair accomodation for the money spent :)

The showers are full of sand, but to be expected being right on the beach.

Nice big room with aircon. Great location, on the bus route as easy to get to from the ferry terminal. Lots of showers. Very friendly and helpful owner. Rented stinger suits for a reasonable price. Overall good value.

Stayed in January 2024

We stayed in the tent, it was completely fine but I think a bit overpriced for a bed in a tent.

The place is in a good location, easy to get to other places on the island.

Bathrooms weren’t the cleanest. This property could do a lot better if it was on Hostelworld and had some better photos. I was also warned to not rent a car here because the host tries to get extra money out of everyone. I had multiple friends experience this.

Location, comfort, towels provided, super cute. Host provided a good description of things to do on the island.

The tent and nature

Stayed in January 2024

Not much near property. Needs car to get most places but can rent one from the property

Affordable and big beds

Stayed in December 2023

Definitely needs a handy man to fix things up. Everything is useable, but not in great conditions

Staff suggested an itinerary as soon as I arrived. Easy to follow.

Lots of young European and American backpackers in this one. Whilst there are signs asking guests to be quiet after 10pm, they don’t. And they even invite their new friends over from other hostels to use the pool table so becomes a bit of a youth club vibe after 10pm. The bed I had is situated directly adjacent to the area where the guests socialise and you will be forced to stay awake until they go to bed. A young Dutch lady was laughing uncontrollably until 3am on the first night. The next night I was the last to bed at 1.30am.

Short 15 minute walk from the Ferry Terminal, it’s just a cheap, friendly base for a couple of days on Maggie Island. Met by the owner Ian, nice bloke provided map and quick explanation of where to go and best way to get around to see everything. I stayed in a bed in a tent in the back of the property which given the inbound tropical cyclone was a unique experience. There is a shared kitchen to make your meals and a shared shower/toilet.

Stayed in December 2023

It was hot in the tent during night, the fan didn't help.

Great location for walking around and swimming (Alma bay). Quite close to the Ferry Terminal (15 min on foot). Clean, friendly staff. Good furniture.

My cabana door was hard to close/secure. The place needs more bathrooms for the number of cabanas it has. The owner was a grouch too, though the staff members were pleasant.

Comfortable bed, clean bathroom, well-stocked kitchen. The netted tent was effective in keeping the bugs out. Lovely garden. Lots of things to see within walking distance, also has a bus stop close by for beaches and hiking trails that are farther away. Be sure to visit Alma Bay Beach, which is just an 8-minute walk away! It was my favourite place on the island.

Wooden floors, so everything seemed loud, this is the only fault I had. Loved it otherwise

The view in lovers bay was lovely
