The hostel itself was nice! Our room was in a poor condition. We had a window without glass and on the other side was another room. We could hear everything that happened in the other room.

Really lovely chilled out vibe to the hostel. It's in a great location. Staff were really friendly. I couldn't fault it at all. Would definitely stay here again. :)

Free surfboards? NOPE! Free wi-fi, NOPE! The hostel lies about what it offers, and lied to us. We had free boards for 2 days and then suddenly they were charging. No effort was made to accomodate those who had booked into the hostel for the surfboards. I'd have liked this place if it weren't for that. And I wouldn't have been annoyed by the rubbish kitchens, aircon that works when it feels like and some fake idea of itself an eco hostel. Bus also isn't regular enough. But good ping pong table.

The most chilled out hostel we have come across. The atmosphere was so relaxed that everyone was really friendly and sociable. First hostel we came across that we were happy to chill out there for an afternoon. Units were a great idea. Great beach location and shuttle buses throughout the day. Definitely considering coming again!!

I really tried to like this place but the negatives out-weighed the positives. The bathroom door didn't lock, there's no hand soap in any toilets and worst of all the kitchen of my dorm was infested with cockroaches at night and the furniture was broken. The hostel needs an injection of cash to fix a lot of problems. I wouldn't stay here again.

generally a good place, very quiet so great for ppl who need to sleep at night. unfortunately quite a bit outside of town and the courtesy bus doesnt run after 6pm which i find very early. no noise and drinking games/ booze in general after 10pm, yes, we understand. but wouldnt it be enough to tell it once when checking in and making clear that rule-breaking leads to having to leave instead of putting 3 or more signs up in the common area...?

This was a lovely hostel. I loved the design of little mini appartments so that a kitchen adn bathroom was shared between two rooms. The decor was lovely i loved all the bright colours nad cool chairs and hammocks hanging outside. If i ever return to Noosa i would def stay there again.

Our Double Room smelled rather mouldy, overall not too clean. But atmosphere is really nice.
