I am not a picky traveller, but the filth in Koala Resort Noosa is something appalling. I booked a private room which stank of urine (yes, urine!) and mold, the matress was filthy, the sheets were dirty with shoe marks and bits of dirt from a previous user and finally chose not to have a shower after seeing the mold... more

Was booked into this place by the Noosa Heads tourist information centre. Got there and realised it was a big mistake. Booked a private room which had to be accessed via another dormitory of 7 beds.
