    Charmful Stay in Hervey Bay

    I booked a bed in a 4-bed dormitory, with fan. The dormitory is large enough, so you do not feel packed at all. The bed is a bunk bed, large enough, with a fair enough good mattress. For this dorm (and the entire hostel), as a male, you have access to 1 shower, 1 toilet, 1 sink. All were clean. You also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, without oven. The common space is nice. The place is a local charmful house, hence it has more the feeling of a guest house than a proper hostel. The WiFi is good. 500m away from main beach. 1km away from Woolworths / Coles supermarket. 2km away from Greyhound / Premier Motor Service bus stop. The owner, Phil, is very chilled and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay.

    Owner

    All aspects are appreciated except for the proprietor. I am deeply grateful for any assistance extended to me. However, the manner in which he attempts to aid is peculiar and somewhat assertive. While it is acknowledged that he is entitled to a bonus from all tour guides, a more composed approach is encouraged.

    The property isn’t locked up so technically anyone can come in and out. It’s a converted house, which is fine of course and makes it cosy, but we felt like we walked into the sitting room in the evening and intruded a little. Windows were all open to air out the room, so a few mozzies, but luckily we didn’t get bitten too much

    Luckily because the door was unlocked, we were able to drop our bags off before our day out. A comfortable bed made for a good nights sleep. Cute room and nice vibes.

    The ladies bathroom wasn’t very clean; The hostel stays open 24/7 so anyone (and anything: possum for example) could have access inside anytime so it doesn’t feel completely safe, but nothing has happened to us.

    The place is at a very good position near the beach and few shops; The hostel has nice vibes, different from others; Phil, the owner, is one in a million and his dog is very sweet.

    The owner gave it a slightly strange vibe, nothing was lockable- all doors left open all night. I’m not sure I would want to stay here if I was a solo female traveller.

    The place was really pretty, well decorated and the beds were comfy. It was also a nice small vibe so could get to know the other people staying there!

    The biggest problem is that you can’t lock the doors and that there are no lockers. This is a known issue (for locals) and there are no cameras. This just gave me an uneasy feeling when going on day trips and leaving valuables in the room. The walls are really thin and the beds are really squeaky so if you have a light sleep that might be an issue.

    It’s clean and the owner gave me some nice tips on what to do

    As a solo traveller I would feel uncomfortable - there wasn’t a reception and no doors were locked or ever shut (no keys) - the owner also had a strange vibe.

    Really nice decorated - homely vibe and very clean!

    As other reviewers have pointed out the top half metre of ajoining bedroom walls are wooden railing, not solid wood so light and noise travels between rooms....

    The property is small but it has a cosy, cottage vibe going on. The bed was comfy and the water hot so all good....

    It's a very small structure (it's actually a house transformed into hostel ) so it's not so social, not many facilities, not a real common room

    The manager has been very kind, we gave me many useful suggestions about the best places to visit and also the best moment of the day do visit them. He also agreed to keep my suitcase for free during my tour to Freser Island! Very cosy and friendly structure.

    Bedrooms were not entirely separated between each other. Doors and windows always open so everyone could enter and there were a lot of spider webs.

    Position near the sea. It's a traditional australian house, so it was nice experiencing it

    We found some animals in our room . It is very good to have the facilities open but it would be nice to put a mosquito net to prevent animals from entering the room.

    It Was nice, open space in the Common áreas and cute place.

    Someone stole my beer and chocolate milk out of the fridge. The check was kind of confusing because I booked it on the net, and I was kind of lost as to what to do when I got there, however that is more on me than the place.

    It's just like visiting your friends house, it's nice, it's comfortable, and you can just chill and watch tv or come and go as you please.

    Rooms are not private in terms of sound, there is a gap at the top of the room so we could hear everything in the room next to us.

    It's okay if you need to crash before the Fraser Island tour. Owner was helpful with suggestions.
