Hostel itself and the facilities were great. Stayed here the night before the dingos Fraser Island tour and was really good to meet people beforehand. All enjoyed chilling by the pool and the great location. Literally next to the bus stop and few minutes walk away from the centre. Only downside is the standard of the bedrooms. The beds were quite basic with no curtains at all and there was only one set of plug sockets in the entire room which were all next to one bed which was inconvenient

I was here for a night prior to going to Fraser Island but it did the job well. Free breakfast in the morning (although it was very early!) and felt very secure compared to other hostels. Was big with a nice pool area. Rooms very basic but again for just the one night it was fine!
