09 January 2010 stephen would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean and the kitchen was excellent. All good although the air con in the rooms was terrible. Got about 2 hours sleep as was so hot. Overall decent value, although if you don't want to sky dive Mission Beach doesn't have much.

10 December 2009 Benjamin would recommend this property

Liked: Not value for money like most places in OZ - and internet is horrendously expensive.But great location, lovely beach, lots to do. Just buy food in bulk at local Woolworths and enjoy the downtime in between the experiences (expect to spend lots!)

08 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Beautiful premises, with swimming pool. And it was conveniently located 1 min. near the bus-stop, 5 min. from the beach and 5 min. from a big supermarket. The computer/internet room and TV/DVD room were good too. Only downside was that the toilets&showers were located a bit far from the rooms, and that the stoves in the kitchen didn't work properly. The kitchen itself was otherwise great, with lots of facilities AND it was big enough for the amount of people staying in the hostel for a change - not way overcrowded like in most hostels.

19 September 2009 Stephan would recommend this property

Liked: Nice place to stay, great location, close to the coach stop, bottleshop on the other side of the road, beach just 500m down the road, and safeway also close by.Huge rooms, with single beds instead of bunk beds(!), a small pool, huge kitchen and a nice garden .. so nothing to complain about.

12 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staf really puts effort in making the guests feel at home. There are heaps of activities organized every day. Especially the saturdaynight Free BBQ! Fun place to meet fellow-travellers. Also clean place, goods facilities and huge kitchen! One little drawback, foamy matress in our double room (Room #D2), however it seems that the Dorms were better equiped.

06 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Stayed in a double room, although not huge it was big enough for the few days. Had air conditioning which was good. Kitchen was open all the time and was always clean. It was big enough aswell to allow loads of people to cook at the same time. It wasn't too roudy either so you can get a good sleep. Only downside was that it is not quite in Mission Beach. Its a good 4km walk to mission beach itself. It is right next to the bus terminal though.
