The owners were very nice, the ambiance was funky. The room "cube" was small, the bed pretty bad. There was no window above the door, so there was too much noise. The bathroom was ok. There wasn't enough dishes to cook in the kitchen.

Have stayed here twice and the rooms are quite good for the price, clean and comfortable! Fun but not luxurious! The restaurant is lovely and have been dozens of times! Great entertainment and amazing food for good value! They even have a cinema! And with cow skin lying down couches!!

Second time staying here with my husband. Love it! Funky, relaxed backpackers surrounded by tea trees. Rooms are basic and clean. Pool is lovely and fun. Staff are lovely and helpful. Nice location about a ten minute stroll from e beach/ shops etc. and tour desk for bookings on site. Stayed in a tent room the first time ( on... More

The "funky abodes" aren't as enticing as they sound. It gets pretty chilly at night (in May/June) and there's no heat anywhere.The Lakeside Cottage bathroom was constantly muddy with mold on the shower curtain. The water was hot, but the pressure was weak. It's a 10 minute walk into town. It was nice having the movie Buddha Bar and the... More

I had the best time here , met some truly wonderful, down to earth people. Great food from the cafe, good staff. Dorms were quite good and clean. Same with the bathrooms. Shame about the lack of privacy though when on the loo. I wouldn't recommend the teepee as it got very cold in the night and were tons of... More

I planned my trip with the help of a backpackers agency, so when I booked this hostel, I wasn't quite aware of the true nature of it. Upon my arrival, I was shocked to see the grounds. It is definitely a place for people that want to disappear from society and really enjoy nature. The building/room I was in wasn't... More

Very basic accommodation. It is located in a wetland area, I was in a canvas structure on an island. It was dirty and there was no security (except a small lock on the zipper entrance). There was mould on the canvas. (See the pictures.) It was noisy at night. No free WIFI and washing machines were $4 for wash and... More

A place for young people who likes party and dont care too much about the noise. It's quite ok compared to other hostels I stayed in Australia, it's reasonably clean but the tent I stayed didnt look much like with what I saw in the website by the time of booking. It's cheaper to eat in the city than in... More
