“Unenjoyable”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012

We arrived late and were really tired after a long drive which did not help the experience but...the dorm we were in was really really basic. There was no a/c, only one fan in the corner. The bathroom door was just a big piece of wood you had to carefully slide across. There was no fridge in the room, or... More

Hi MissJones21 Thank you for your review. Our dorm rooms range from 6 - 10 beds and majority have en-suite bathrooms, some have kitchenette units and balconies if you stay on the second or third floor. We do not provide fridges in our dorm rooms but we do have 2 large communal fridges in our kitchen which is accessible 24... More

“Only stayed one night instead of two”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

We had originally planned to stay at this hostel for two nights (before and after our trip to Fraser Island) but cancelled the second night since we just couldn't stand the thought of spending another night in a room like the one we got for our first night. We arrived rather late and went to the bar to get our... More

“Poor, do not stay”

We arrived a few days ago. Dorm rooms are average, at best, the beds are made of plastic and lizards are a extra guest. Double rooms are even worst, poo droppings on beds, and smell as bad as you can imagine. Do NOT stay here unless you can help it, Dingo's (next door) is far better - GO THERE :)... More

Hi Daniel P I am little concerned as to this review as I do not think this is a genuine review. We believe this to be a review left by a guest of a competitor hostel who never actually stayed with us. Having said that, I will respond to your review. You state that the dorms are bad and the... More

“Excellent stay, great owners, amazing food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2012

I stayed here as part of a Fraser island trip and I have been meaning to write an excellent review ever since. The hostel is ran by a fun, kind and helpful couple who go over and above your expectations to ensure your stay is great. We were initially booked into a dorm room but it was over booked so... More

“Would stay somewhere else next time, perhaps expected too much”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012 via mobile

We recently stayed here 2 x 2 couples for one night before going over to Fraser. We wanted 2 double en suite rooms, what we got was 2 double beds with a single bunk bed on top, so actually a triple, wasn't really what we expected. We were in the 'newly renovated' rooms, but neither rooms window shutters or bathroom... More

“Nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2012

Unfortunately I don't have many positive things to say about this place. The night we arrived we got stuck into an 8 bed dorm literally on the other side of the bar and their crappy music was really noisy. Of course, if you do like sleeping practically not before going on your big Fraser Island trip (wake up at 6am)... More

“Pretty Poor Hostel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

Stayed for three nights in total as part of a 4x4 package tour of Fraser Island. The first two nights were spent in a nine bed mixed dorm which was pretty bad!! The bed was dirty and uncomfortable, the room was full of ants and the bathroom door didn't have a lock. When we returned from the tour we were... More

Do not stay here, it has to be the worst hostel by far I've been to in Australia. I was booked in for only one night as part of the oz experience (my advise is get the greyhound to Hervey Bay, rather than stop in Rainbow Beach). Unfortunately due to flooding in the area I had to stay an extra... More
