to get started.

I felt immediately at home at the Cool Bananas, super laid back and only good vibes! Staff is super friendly and helpful and it's easy to get to know your fellow travelers around the fire pit at night. Such a nice place to stay at, I didn't want to leave! Thank you guys for making me feel so very comfortable and at home, you're legends!

The Cool Bananas is a beautiful family owned place which actually gives you the famous „home away from home“ feeling. I extended my stay several times as the whole place as well as the area is just so nice and chill, and away from the party crowds. Don‘t miss the surf lesson with Lorenzo and Wez, even if you are not too much into surfing the guys make it really a (successful) experience!

“A wee home away from home!”

- • Bed in 8-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

Nothing I really disliked, but I have a couple of suggestions: * I don’t mind not locking the door to the room but it might be helpful to have small safes in the room, so it’s easier to store any smaller valuables for easy access (w/o having to go to reception) * It would be best to give guests a blanket upon check-in during winter. I forgot to collect mine before the reception closed the first night and ended up pretty cold in the early hours!
* Fab staff - Linda & Cary and the team were lovely, very friendly and always willing to help! * Big, clean kitchen * The outdoor space is great, especially the firepit - fab for winter evenings! * Spacious rooms * Something that really made a difference to my stay was the fact I could use the facilities (showers, kitchen, common areas) after I checked out (until my bus at 10pm!!). It meant that I could properly make the most out of my last day!! * Shuttle to/from Greyhound bus stop

This backpackers is perfect located, close to the beach and the shops. In the 8-bed-dorm is plenty of space, also in the kitchen. They pick you up at the Greyhound and bring you also. At the reception you can book sunset tours and the Horizon kangagroo sanctuary. Can highly recommend this place! :)

The breakfast is super basic. Plain white bread and some jam. It’s only available 6-8 am so a bit stinge there. Could offer some fruits or juice and keep it open until 9 am.
Great for solo travellers. Bed are comfy, everything is well maintained and cleaned everyday, staff are super helpful and friendly, common areas are cosy and campfire is nice too.
