Spacious rooms with big balcony. Good bathroom. Good kitchen, very well organised. It has a boiling water tap ready for coffee or tea , and a really cold drinker, fountain, perfect for summertime when you want to drink really cool water. Also first hostel I see they recycle.

Valentina Australia

Fantastic location in the middle of town. Comfortable room. Was good to only have to share the bathroom with one other person. Comfortable bed.

Nicole Australia

this place is amazing not only did I meet some people from all walks of life but the manager is so approachable caring and even allowed me to check in every day around 10 o’clock. This is in the best position for Airlie Beach and I will be booking it out for two months over Christmas because it is just worth every cent

Belinda Australia
