BUG review
This brand new boutique hostel is modern and clean throughout and just steps from the beach. It has glossy hardwood floors, perfect showers and a common room with soft lighting and two nice televisions. The kitchen can get a bit messy but is spacious with all the mod-cons. Bathrooms are great besides some having those annoyingly tiny sinks. Girlzone is a girls-only dorm with hairdryers and other conveniences. There is also laundry and internet access. It is definitely a quiet hostel, but after a long day of outdoor activities, it is a welcome respite. Management are nice and eager to help.

This hostel is a bit far from the Greyhound and Premier Motor Service Busstation, but they have a shuttleservice which waits for you, when you arrive. They have a big tourdesk and are aible to book your Greyhound or Premier Motor Service Ticket. They have the most competent and helpful staff I ever met in a hostel in Australia. The kitchen is very small but well equiped. The atomosphere of this hostel is anonymous and quiet.

An excellent hostel, nice clean facilities. The staff were so helpful, getting up in the night to let us in and upgrading our room so we wouldnt disturb other guests. Definately would recommend staying here!

this hostel is very new and very clean and nice staff who helped me out. this place needs to have a outdoor area, pool maybe...but this place is great.4x4 tour to fraser was organised by people in reception and car that got us was very rusty and old. battery broke on first nite and rang owner of car and we was rude and terrible. why does this hostel use such bad cars for a brand new hostel, i was very suprised.next you have a great hostel but 4x4 tours are terrible
