Such lovely and helpful staff, and one of the cleanest hostels I've come across. Huge kitchen, great tv lounge; the weather wasn't great when I was there so they shuttled us about the area for free cinema nights and free tours into the town. Stay here for a treat, you'll love it!

One of the best Hostels I stayed in while travelling around Australia for 7 weeks. It was very clean, always someone there cleaning the kitchen and facilities. The Staff were so helpful especially Pip and Brendon. Nothing was too much trouble. Close to the beach and local supermarket (woolworths) and also very close to the Bus Station to catch my onward Greyhound Bus.

Booked absolute for 3 days and didnt want to leave so stayed for 5 we would have stayed forever if we could! best hostel ever, so so so clean and friendliest staff ever! Completely gets u away from the hussle and bustle of smelly hostel life. If you've had some bad hostels or even just average you should definately stay here an get away from it, great value for money and all in all amazing. Cant actually put into words how great this hostel is everyone should just go see for themselves!!

If a quiet hostel with clean and chilled out atmosphere is what you are after then stay. Me and my friend were complimentary upgraded which was nice of ther receptionists. My only fault with the room is that the room had a 2 plug socket where 1 was in constand use bt the Air Con, not good when 8 travellers need to charge their electrical equipment. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay.

Lovely little hostel set back from the main road. We found it to be the best thing about mission beach as not much was there. Great pool BBQ area and huge kitchen and brill tv room with big sofas and air con. Rooms on the small size but clean. Staff very friendly and helpful even picked up from the bus stop 2 yard away. Shame about mission beach as there was nothing to do 3 shops in the town.
