Liked: I liked the free wifi and the big coomon area outside where you could relax. The bathroom was nice and so was the location close to the beach. The courtesy bus which ran every hour was also very nice.

Disliked: There were not enough pans in the kitchen and that you had to pay to hire a dvd.

Liked: The whole atmosphere was really nice. You pay a bit more than normally (3$ per night) but you can see that back in the hostel. The common area is really nice and free wi-fi is always good to have.

Disliked: The common area was right outsite of my bedroom, so I woke up during the nights because of other people sitting there.

Liked: The chilled and relaxed atmosphere was great. Also the free shuttle bus was handy but the hostel is located by the best beach in noosa even though it is just slightly out of the town centre.

Disliked: Bathroom wasn't the cleanest

Liked: Very chilled and Sunshine Beach is only 10mins walk down the road.

Disliked: The night life is down the hill at Noosa Juction. Buses stop going to this property at 8:30 and the walk goes through a wood so a taxi is needed.

Romantic getaway

11 November 2011 Julia would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed in a double private ensuite room for the night (unit 1) our room was very clean, very basic but had a good flat screen tv which was a nice extra. Bathroom was clean but very basic, quite mouldy, shower was quite weak but was hot. You could hear the reception through the wall which wasn't great if you wanted a lie in as it was noisey, also the curtain covering the sliding door entrance is very see through! Staff were friendly enought but arrived at 5 went for dinner then left at 9. The hostel grounds had lots of trees close to the buildings very likely to have a lot of bugs and cocktroaches in summer!

Disliked: could do with some modernisation, a lick of paint, scrub of the ceiling etc.

Liked: The hammocks and the trees.

Disliked: Was very disappointed with the staff. They were inefficient when we checked in and not very helpful afterwards. We were in a room that shared the staff kitchen and it was always very, very messy. I would expect the staff of a hostel to do a better job cleaning up after themselves. Also, our double room was tiny and smelled musty.

Liked: Regular shuttle bus in to town. Nice atmosphere, relaxed and a good place to meet people.

Disliked: Dorms are really small with no locker space, so security was poor. Kitchens were small and not well equiped and no clean tea towels.

Liked: Really good atmosphere! Nice that it's the owners that help you aswell. Bit from center, but the free busservice is good! It's nice and close to the beach. Good to be a few people to share TV and kitchen, that way you come together with the other people from your dorm. Good free hire of surfboards! I'll def recomend this place!

Disliked: Safety is a bit lacking, nowhere to put your valuables, and one day I came home and the door to my dorm was open, nothing happened, but still.

Liked: The private room was ideal, and served its purpose

Disliked: I'm struggling to say anything bad, but maybe some of the tiles in the bathroom could be replaced as look a little scummy?

Liked: Double rooms have a tv and dvd player and reception had several terminals for internet access at decent rates.

Disliked: Car parking was on the street even though it advertises car parking (which leads me to believe it is off street), rooms appear clean until you wake up in the morning covered in bed bug bites. Staff were very sharp and attention always seemed to be on other things rather than the person in front especially when the phone rang and it was a new reservation (more money). Plenty of amenities available but at very expensive rates. More toilet and shower facilites also required. There was only one toilet and shower (in the same room) for 5 different rooms which was a pain in the morning!

Liked: relaxed atmosphere, very leafy & tropical gardens, against all expectation it was INDEED quiet in the evenings...!

Disliked: contrary to what's advertised here there are no towels available- not nice if you expect them and didn't bring any (consequently we had to help ourselves to towels we assumed had been left behind by other travellers & left them in the gardens to dry- sorry guys... ;-) )
