Noosa is gorgeous and the sea is 5 minutes walk from where we were.Unfortunatly we didnt get the Costa Bella apartments like the other guy who did a review - we got the Melaluka Units. Its right next to the Costa Bella but definatly not as nice. Our House thingy was right next to the reception and what we soon realised was that they had used half of our house for thier Reception - you could hear everything they said and did through the thin thin walls. The reception guy also kept popping in as they used one of the bedrooms as a filing room (that wasnt nice). Apart from all that the place was ok, it had a kitchen with hobs/a toaster/kettle/microwave and fridge/sink etc. We had a living room with t.v and two sofas. Upstairs had a twin room, a double room and the filing room (used to be a bedroom) and a separate toilet and shower. It was carpeted upstairs which was from the 60's like most of the furniture in that place. After we left my boyfriend told me that the many black splodges on the ceiling in our bedroom where actually spiders nests! I asked how he knew and he said he accidentally smashed one while trying to get a big fly out ! Anyway - Noosa is lovely but i would stay somewhere else if i went again (we heard on the grapevine that the Koala in Noosa is a flea pit)!

Hostel Manager's Right of Reply
Hello,
My name is Peter Williams, I am the manager of Melaluka on the Beach. I am writing in regards to the "Reviewer: rachaelandy from Harlow, England." I see they were not happy with their stay here which I believe is because they booked a room in our older Melaluka Apartment and not the New Costa Bella Apartments, so as a result have embarked on a imaginary witch hunt.
They complained about being near the office, I believe every backpackers has rooms near the office, we don't have a spare oval to put our office in the middle of. She said "The reception guy also kept popping in as they used one of the bedrooms as a filing room (that wasn’t nice)." We keep popping into the apartments to clean them and the other bedrooms on departures, she booked a room in an apartment sharing the apartment with 2 other people, at $26 each (dorm prices in Noosa). She booked the CHEAPEST POSSABLE ROOM in Noosa and in THE busiest week of the year. The options of our new Costa Bella Apartments were well and truly booked out then.
We never use any of our bedrooms as "filing room," as she said, especially in late December.
Our carpets and furniture are not from the 60s, the building isn't even that old. Her boyfriend told her there were black "splodges" of spiders nests on the ceiling, last I heard, spiders used webs and their egg sacs are white.
Just to emphasize her state of mind she throws in an insult at Koala Backpackers where she didn't visit, how thorough.
I find it sad someone is emotionally like this, and especially whilst on holidays to top it off, and also insulting for your webpage to print it.
Our family has worked hard, consistantly, fairly and happily since 1978 with this business and have a huge success rate with our customers, that's why we are still here.
Thanks for you time.
Kind Regards
Peter Williams :)

I Just stayed in their Costa Bella apartments with a mate. We had our own room with our own bathroom, shower. We have traveled right up the coast & it's the best place we've stayed in yet. Just read the Lets Go review & it says it all.There was a English couple in the other room & we all had a great time on the beach, swim in the pool & finish the day on the balcony with the great ocean views. Stay there and YOU WILL love it.

We stayed in the Melaluka for one night only after planning to stay for 5. The whole place had clearly never been cleaned, there was dirt all over the floor, there were twigs in the bed and the pillows were old and yellow. The fridge in the kitched wasn't turned on when we got there so our food went off and it smelt really bad. When we checked out the next morning they led 2 other people staight into the room while we were still stood outside so that would explain why the room was so dirty. Wouldn't stay there again if you paid me.

I stayed in this hotel on October 13th and I to was impressed by having my own flat. Only the tv didn't work. Under the seats I found lots of lost properties by previous visitors, the floor was a sand bank, it is very far out of town and most of all, I woke up at about 4 in the morning to find three bed bugs in my bed.

Noosa is a really nice place ot spend a few days with plenty of good accommodation but this must be the best. It's right on Sunshine Beach and consists of apartments like you'd get on a normal holiday but at backpaker prices. We were in an apartment in a double room with our own kitchen, lounge and all the facilities you need and it's $20 per person (either single or double room). If you fancy a splurge, they also have doubles at $60 with en suite bathrooms and a pool. It is clean, well run and has plenty of space. It is my favourite place so far in Australia, and I've stayed in quite a few. However, if you are travelling alone or don't have car, it may be no better than somewhere in town as it's not easy to meet people outside of your apartment and a bit out of town, but they do have a bus and a single room for $20 is hard to beat, especially as it is such a lovely place to stay. If you have a car and there are a few of you, you will have the best time. We also stayed at the Backpackers Resort which was fine but more expensive and not nearly as nice as this.
