Summary of traveller reviews

Freedom Hostels Rainbow Beach is a great base for K'gari tours, with a fantastic pool area and friendly staff. Some guests note the kitchen could be better equipped and rooms are basic, but it's ideal for short stays.

Adequate option if you’re heading on a K’gari tour. Good facilities, friendly staff, and excellent location as all tours and buses drop off here but I would only stay here out of convenience with K’gari as there isn’t much to do in Rainbow Beach and the hostel is outdated and the bathrooms especially could do with some TLC. Huge pool and loved that the kitchen is open to the outside. Music throughout the property was extremely loud and blaring, there wasn’t a quiet place to relax unfortunately.

If you’re booking the Fraser island trip this is the best hostel to go to because the bus pick-up/drop off is right in front same about the Dingo’s tour. There’s a pool and bar and the rooms are basic but clean. For 1/2 nights its great not much to do in the area for more nights
