Super friendly stuff that. Helped me finding a good coral reef cruise even at 11pm after a day road trip. They organize every day something to help a bit of community among back packers. Nice common area, and two kitchen and free sunscreen even 😉 Very convenient free shuttle to bring you to the ferry terminal and beach!

Friendly staff, it was easy to check in after hours, shuttle service to the center of town. It would be great as a place to camp and use the facilities, but as a hostel it doesn't have all of the amenities you may expect. Good value though! Was great for a night.

Other travellers as usual making a lot of noise after 10pm. Even cooking when the kitchens are closed at 9pm. A lot of banging and crashing, no regard for others who may need to get up really early.
Quiet location, a bed rather than a bunk. Free breakfast of breads and spreads

Room was off the kitchen and very noisy. This was down to the other travellers either in the morning or the evening. Didn’t make any effort to keep the noise to a minimum - cupboards banging and crockery bashed.
Breakfast included and free WiFi Staff very helpful when booking tours and anything else they were asked

“Best hostel during our 1 month stay in Australia”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
During our 1 month stay in Australia, this hostel was overall the best hostel we have stayed at. Our deluxe double room was exceptionally clean, well equipped, luxurious bathroom (yes, apparently this is possible in a hostel :-)), handy kitchenette, and comfortable beds. Shuttle service was also very convenient and always on time. Communal facilities like the kitchens were also clean and the property itself is in great condition. Should you think that this hostel is a bit far away from the city center: no worries at all as the shuttle bus runs frequently and comfortably takes you to the city center in 5 minutes. Walking takes approximately 20 minutes and is also doable. Last but not least, we'd like to give a big thumbs up to all the staff and in particular Marco for helping us plan our trips to Daintree / Cape Trib. and the Great Barrier Reef. Marco took ample time and explained all the pros and cons of all tours in great detail and with a smile. In summary: our stay here was fabulous - thanks!

The kitchens were quite small, so got busy in there. We love to play pool, but the table was badly damaged. It needs repairing or replacement.
We had a lovely private room with a little kitchenette, a fridge and bathroom that we only had to share with one other room. This was especially nice because during our stay the weather was really bad, so we spend a lot of time in the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The shuttle bus is useful and the free use of beach towels was nice. Would definitely recommend this hostel to other travelers.

Brilliant garden/pool area, great price for a private room (normally stay in bunks but the price was really good for a private room which had aircon) staff were fantastic, really helpful and happy! It’s a little bit out of town but personally we liked being somewhere quiet, they run a regular bus to and from town so no dramas. Free bread/spreads for morning, free tea and coffee anytime. BBQ on a Monday night. Favourite hostel we stayed at in Aus!

you needed to pay for air conditioning. Only $1 for 3 hours but still a little cheeky to charge for cold air on +30 days.
