BUG review
This homely hostel is full of bright yellows and blues and the walls are full of writing from previous happy guests, many of whom have stayed long-term to work in Maroochydore. It is a cheerful hostel, although quite run down and the bathrooms are tiny and dirty. Dorms are quirky and cluttered and some have a nice view over the Esplanade. Guests have free use of bikes, body boards, surfboards, kayaks and surf skis, and the hostel offers free pick up from the airport and bus stations. It has a great location and the management treat you like family.

excellent hostel!!it was very tidy, the staff were great.one major plus point about this hostel is the free body boards, surf boards and kayaks.it was only a five minute walk to an excellent beach, the surf is excellent. it wasnt far from the sunshine plaza ten minute walk, where there is an english pub with live music every night.i loved cotton tree and wanted to stay there for the rest of my time in oz. well worth the stop here!!!
Pros:
easy going atmosphere
Cons:
not enough time to stay here.
