Average hostel with nice and big kitchen, movies all day, relatively good location (20 min to supermarket) and clean rooms.

Really nice and chilled. Nice rooms and overall a nice hostel to stay and meet people. A bit too far away from the 'centre', but you can always take the bus. Internet a bit too expensive here, but the pizza deal was really good, so go and try it if you are around.

Private rooms were like cells. Very overpriced for what you get. Bathrooms were pretty disgusting.

I had a really awesome time here- the staff are awesome and made me feel really welcome and the place is great. I wish i could have stayed longer! One of the best hostels i've been in for security with your own lockers with your room key so no trying to find a socket. Jlz x

The room and the showers were clean. The kitchen was ok, with a big TV playing movies. The staff was friendly. Small lockers for your values, with 2 power points in each so you can charge your mobile etc in a safe place. The free bus to the city and the beach was really helpful otherwise it's too far.

The atmosphere and the range of facilities were good and the fact they offered shuttle buses into town was good.

It's really nice place, you pay for a 6 bedroom 29$ but the room is not small as the other I went through and it's clean!! you can take a relaxing walk and the best thing is that it has a shuttle that pick u up from the greyhound bus stop and brings you to Noosa Beach or Noosa Junction with return almost every hour! nice place to stay!!

I loved this hostel! It really is a "resort" for backpackers- cute bar, on-site laundry, pool, travel help, restaurant... I loved the feel of this place, lots of plants, chill atmosphere, very cute. The staff was very friendly. The only "bad" part about this place is that they're kinda far from things walking, but to make up for that they have a free shuttle that runs to different places throughout the day. The pizza + a beer is a great deal too. I really liked this place!!

I have stayed in a double bed room which was not really nice. Cockroaches and spiders visited me every night. The bathroom hasn't been cleaned during my entire stay (3 nights). In the afternoon, the reception was mainly unattended (due to absence of staff). Apart of that, the hostel provides good facilities (bar, pool, citchen, bike rent, free surf boards, internet etc.).

Hostel was excellent, had great rooms, lockers with plug sockets inside which was very handy. Bit of a walk to the nearest bar that wasn't in the hostel, but they provide free daily pick-ups and drop offs to the beach and the bus stop. Only gripe was that on pick-up we were made to sit at the van without being acknowledged for 45 minutes while the driver/receptionist talked to friends. Some communication would've been handy.

This hostel is quite far out of town, but the hostel does run shuttle bus hourly until around 6pm which is good. Everyone has an individual locker with electricity plugs inside - great for charging laptop/camera/phone securly. The rooms and bathrooms were ok, but lacked natural light and the decor looked a little scruffy. As all the rooms are around a central courtyard with a bar the hostel had a kind of party feel and was a little noisy at night. Overall it was pretty average.

This hostel was brilliant! The staff were so friendly and called me by my name everytime I had a question at Reception which made me feel like a guest and not just another another face in the hostel. I booked 2 nights accommodation and a trip to Australia Zoo which was great value for money. The hostel was clean and the building was good and the facilities were conducive to hepling to meet new people - the veranda, the kitchen and the attached balcony etc. The best hostel I stayed in!
