BUG Review
This small and colourful hostel has a gorgeous common room with plush couches and television and a breezy outside lounge area with umbrellas and a fire pit. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Dorms are average but clean and the bathrooms are new. The reception staff are quite friendly and it is a good place to book tours and meet other travellers.
Price Dorm bed $25 ($24 HI/YHA, VIP) Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
I had a friend staying at the cool bananas
supposedly the coolest backpackers hostel in agnes water
taking the premier bus, i went to 1770 backpackers cause they pick you up at 2.20am
in the morning i went to visit my friend to arrange our stay in agnes water
not only did they kick me out because no visitors are allowed in the premises
but one guy, a manager was rude to me, telling me to leave and and to go back to my hostel, because i didn't book with him
i wasn't even allowed to wait outside the hostel!later on, i eventually found my friend
he went to pick something at his hostel
so, politely, i waited outside
then the guy passed me, i greeted him genuinely
thinking that all of this was a misunderstanding
but again he was rude to meBackpackers spirit is friendly spirit to me
and it's not because we're not staying at the same hostel
that people should not mix!!
the managment should be more open mindednow we're spending the day at 1770 cause at least there, my friend is allowed to the premises!i decided to boycott such behaviourthank you

I liked it, but they have to chance the staff, November 27, 2006
Great place but not much to do there and transportation is limited. nice to chill for a day or so on your way up the coast. guy who runs it is great. no a/c is the only bad thing.
purpose built hostel and theyve done a damn fine job!!
coutyard outside real chilled and they have fire there every night, large tv lounge and the dorms are very spacious..manager is mad and very welcoming!!plenty of trips to take like the scooteroos and kayaking at sunset, well reccomend taking a detour and staying here a few days!!!

This is honestly the best hostel i have stayed in. I had a major problem with my airline ticket and the owner bent over backwards to help me, including giving me a $10 phonecard for free! He is so nice. He also runs his hostel on the premise that if he trusts backpackers they will respect the hostel - and it works. its one of the best run hostels in oz.
