BUG Review
What this hostel lacks in maintenance, it makes up for in character with bright pink and aqua green walls surrounding island style furniture and Tibetan prayer flags. The leafy courtyard acts as a laid-back common area with a barbecue and stack of surfboards. There is also a small swimming pool, a pool table and table tennis table. The small dorms are in self-contained units with kitchens, bathrooms and televisions. There is also a "rainforest shower" in the back which is partly outdoors with mosaic tiles. With friendly staff, it is a good place to chill out.
Price Dorm bed $25 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
Pros:
near the beach
Cons:
so many cockroaches and staff who dont take you seriously when you tell them

This hostel looks quite quaint and has lots of nice little touches everywhere. The rooms are ok but when the lights go out the cockroaches come out. We had a room with a locked door at one end. The door had a hole in it and down that hole we could see dozens of little cockroach antennae, under the door was even better - lots of dead ones! Been there a while then... We were moved to a dorm by a sarcastic girl where we saw cockroaches coming out of the holes in the bunkbed bars! We went back downstairs just as another couple were being moved into our original room. The kitchens were well equipped though and there was a nice atmosphere in our shared kitchen.

It's in a great location, a few minutes walk from the beach and restaurants. But the rooms were quite dirty with very squeaky beds. Alright, if you're not gonna spend much time there!

Great little hostel in the quieter surfer area of Noosa, the staff are really helpful and its only minutes from beautiful Sunshine Beach. Rooms are nothing special, but you do get a TV & video in each of the apartments, and there are loads of hammocks about to chill in! Great place.
