  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    A nice clean space central to the beach

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a laid back vibe, and the free breakfast was simple, but great. The room was clean and all amenities were as well. The location was okay… I could walk to a few restaurants, but there wasn’t a grocery store that was in walking distance.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Very nice hostel, large, very well kept kitchen including free breafast with waffles. Nice pool, TV, lots of books/DVDs etc. Rooms clean. Staff good, allowed early check in (assuming room free) and very low rate to keep bags whilst visiting Fraser Island. It's a long way from the centre of Hervey Bay so would be really good if the hostel ran a free shuttle bus to the centre, otherwise it's a 1 hour walk along the beachfront.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    lots to do or do-nothing great position great showers great room staff spent most of his time in the movie room so no one else could use, twice he slept in and open for breakfast late grounds need a big clean up this would be a big plus most cook tops not working

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Pickup from bus station They did not serve the breakfast at the time they said. Trash was not taken out and washrooms did not have toilet paper

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Reception were courteous and informative. Nothing.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Excellent hostel. Fantastic kitchen including free breakfast, great waffles. Friendly staff, great to be able to store bags cheaply whilst on Fraser Island. Pool, TV room etc. all very nice. Stayed in private twin which was excellent, kids stayed in dorms that were good too. Is about a 1 hour walk from central town so would be useful to run a free shuttle occasionally during the day (as per other out of town hostels in other resorts). Reception staff didn't seem overly familiar with local companies operating tours etc to Fraser Island which would have been useful although they do have lots of printed materials.
