Better to stay in appartments than in dorms,so you get to know the people better.A bit far away from everything.Several FREE lifts to the Main Beach,the Shopping Centre and the bus stop.

Nice hostel all in pink. 2 rooms each share a bathroom, kitchen and chill out area with a TV. Very nice atmosphere and everything was so clean! Location isn't that good. But there's a shuttle to the main beach and noosa junction 8 times a day about every hour. WiFi for free.

A friendly hostel with a very relaxing fibe. It's a little outside Noosa centre and you're not allowed to drink alcohol at night, so the evenings are quiet. Every 2 dorms have their own kitchen, shower and livingroom, so it feel's like you have an appartement. The hostel is really clean.

I only stayed one night. Staff seemed friendly. I didn't like that they charged me to store my luggage for 1 night whilst I went to Fraser Island for a 2 day trip. A nearby hostel stored a fellow travellers kuggage for free and gave her a separate bag for her overnight stuff to take to Fraser. Very clean hostel

A lovely chilled out place. Since we booked a double, you get the use of a private kitchen which only the staff use. The room was a decent size with a huge bathroom and TV. The only down point is that it is a fair walk from the town, which we did walk to one night but it was 45/60 minutes. They hostel does do shuttle buses but they don't run that often and if you want to head out at night its a long walk back but you could get a taxi. A relaxing vibe is created by pavestones, bushes and benches.

Liked the hostel. Helpful staff, very relaxed feeling. Every two rooms seem to share a kitchen/living room/bathroom. Rooms were somewhat small. Really short walk to the beach but somewhat outside the center but they offer a free shuttle bus. Sadly no lockers in the room, only a small safe at reception.

We returned specifically due to a positive stay years ago. Still highly recommended; easily the best backpacker in Noosa due to its tranquil setting and the privacy afforded by its layout. The only drawback was the sullen staff. A common refrain from other travelers was: "they seem pissed off all the!"

The hostel itself was pretty average, though I did appreciate the open concept lounges and kitchens, and the way all of the rooms opened up into one common area. Also loved the trippy decor. Beds were comfy, and itwas all clean enough. Th highlights were definitely the character, it's very easy to meet a lot of colorful people, and the location, right on the beach. Best hostel in Noosa, I'd wager.

In general, the hostel is quite cute and has a certain charme. Unfortunately, the fact that you cannot get hot showers at certain times is poor, the check-out time should be communicated more clearly and the wi-fi and aircon definitely needs to be fixed. These essential elements would make the stay much better.

One of the best hostels we have been to in Australie! The shuttle runs often so if you want to get into the city, it's easy and the location is perfect as you're close to the sunshine beach and a few good walks in the national park. Clean, friendly, perfect! It's a quiet hostel so if you like partying, go somewhere else!
