The staff are running around and bending over backwards to help everyone. The manager greg is amazing, so many stories and when i reacted... More

I really liked Cool Bananas. The rooms and bathrooms were extremely clean. I felt the hostel was more like a home than a backpackers. Nice living room area for watching movies or outside area by the kitchen to eat and drink. Some nights there are $6 dinners which looked amazing. The owner was loud, fun and eccentric but I never...

Agnes waters has not soo much to offer, except your first Surf-lessons and some nice bicycle rides, but the cool bananas is compensating this. I stopped there in order to break the big greyhound rides from north to south and end up staying for 4 nights mainly because of the hostel.

Nice setting, close to shops and beach but the manager Greg is a rude, moody angry man. If he wasn't there it'd be perfect but unfortunately he ruined our experience. Never been treated like this before in Australia and I advice people to be very wary.

This hostel has the ability to be very very good, the washrooms are big and the living area where you can watch films is big and good to socialise.The rooms are a little small and the hamocks are awesome to hang out. The kitchen is a little small but means you get to chat to people more. The place is... More

Loved cool bananas building and how it was set out, really relaxed, hammocks, spacey and clean. However on many occasions you can hear a man (employee of, either manager or owner) shouting and swearing, when watching TV with at least 10 others, hes shouting on the phone 'tell me who the f'''' he is or come f''''' find him for...

I planned to have 2 days in this Town and originally planned to be shovelled into another hostel until a girl stood up on the bus and shouted all come to cool Bananas- Trust me! I ended up at Cool Bananas and immediately extended my... More
