-bad drainage: in rain season some rooms do ger flooded - expensive bar: a pint Costs 9 Dollars. Double the price which usual backpacher Hostels would take. - surfaces are clean, but the hostel is dirty. E.g. above shelves in rooms there is lots of trash. It seems nobody really fares -not actual luggage storage. You store your luggage until max. 5 PM in the bar. Its not secure, everyone van Access. And because the bar gives all space to luggage during the day their is no gommon room.

Some of the staff were great, but so many of the staff on reception just did not seem to care about the job they should be doing. Prime example - room of 16 returning from Fraser Island tour. Not one person had a working code to access our room. Reception's response was oh sorry, but we did put something on Facebook. Not helpful when reception shuts at 9pm and nobody else (security & bar staff) seemed to have a clue what to do. Utter shambles. Half the rooms are accessed by a stony path which is less than ideal for someone with a case on wheels. The sheets on beds were clean but the rooms were filthy. Nowhere near enough plug sockets for the number of guests in the rooms. Kitchen is badly stocked with plates/cups/utensils etc. and is grimy. Half the shelves in the fridges are broken. Bar is fine but the air con drips and the staff don't care that paying customers are getting wet as there's nowhere to move to. WiFi is shocking - even in the communal areas. Don't offer free WiFi if it can't cope enough to load the sign in page when people are using it. Again, reception couldn't have been less bothered. Swimming pool area was nice and perfect for a hot day. The hammocks were a good place to chill out. Laundry is expensive by most hostel standards - $6 for a wash (automatically includes detergent) and $5 for a dryer. Have to pay by card and several people were charged twice because the card machines are dodgy - reception then tell you to call the company yourself for a refund because they can't do it!
Swimming pool. Hammocks. About 3 members of staff were pleasant during the 7 nights I was there. Washing lines outside save on drying costs (when it's not raining).

-everyone were short stay guests, one or two days max so it's hard to get to know ppl -kitchen was filthy and outdated, the least they can do is switch up the lights to make it brighter
Great bar onsite

The kitchen was way too small and filthy, cockroaches and flies everywhere, not enough kitchen equipment, often no cups, spoons, forks, pots etc. When asking the staff to get more equipment they didn’t care, said it wasn’t there fault that people steel things. One would think that it would be the hostels responsibility to provide a fully equipped kitchen to the paying guests. The sink was always flooded with dirty dishes and flies, no wonder when they don’t even provide tools for the guests to do the dishes. The room was not clean, as well as the blankets and sheets with both had blood stinks on them. Only 2 electrical outputs worked in a 8 bed dorm. Moreover the hostel is completely weather dependent, if it rains, there is nowhere to sit or be as there is no areas under roof. As if this wasn’t enough the ceiling in the room was leaking so our beds got completely soaked. Disgusting. We also stayed in a room with 5 young girls and then the hostel management decided to place a 70 year old stinking man into the room. When telling the hostel management that all of us girls felt really uneasy and uncomfortable with his presence, all they answered was “that’s life staying at a hostel”. Well in that case it’s funny how all the previous hostel we stayed at has always made us feel perfectly comfortable with out roommates and this has never been an issue. So no, feeling uneasy is definitely not how life in a hostel should be like. If that’s Noosa Nomads attitude to hostel life no wonder why the whole experience stank. To sum it all up, we just want people to stay away from this place.

The rooms appeared clean but where covered in sand before we had a chance to get any in there ourselves. The room was a private double with a shared bathroom with the room next door. The system was a bit annoying as if we needed to go to the toilet wed have to wait ages for the people next door to unlock our door while they got ready for the day or nights out etc. The bar was really loud but that's not too annoying. As we were leaving we stripped the sheets and found a dead gecko underneath, we dont know if it crawled in during our stay or not but wasnt pleasant. The kitchen was awful. Was like a little hole under the bar that wasnt clean and covered in cockroaches. Only 1 pan had a handle and it was rare to get a piece of cutlery.
The rooms were modern and the bar was reasonably priced. The pool was clean but busy. The location was great. Nice and close to the shops. A bit of a tough walk to the beach in the heat but still only about minutes walk.

The staff at the reception was terrible after 8 times explaining I booked my room via booking.com. She refused to listen to me. They kept on sending me back and forth. She did not know what she was doing.
Hostel was good and what I expected! The Fraser Island organization from Nomads is good, most staff where nice

Both aircon and fan broke, we mentioned it several times but seems that maintance didnt really have it high on their priority list. Cockroaches in the room (on the beds, in the lockers and so on, basically they were everywhere). Kitchen looked good though, but all in all i think this hostel charges too much for what you actually get.

Disappointing

They mention they have air con. *but it’s not true* They turn the air con on between 4pm and 2am, and 10am to 12pm. Weird hours to turn it off, they claim they do it in order to reduce our carbon footprint, but they only have one trash can for recycling. The bug protector in the room was a bit open so bugs came in. I asked for a fan, and they brought one after 4 hours, it was dirty and didn’t spin. The kitchen was horrible- open space not enough of everything. When they cleaned the room, they wet my bag, and I had to dry it.
The pool.

Staff weren’t particularly great as it was soo busy. No WiFi in the rooms
We stayed here in preparation for the Nomads Fraser tour we were booked on. They allowed us to store our bags there which was great. The private room we had was fine. Nice bar and lively atmosphere
