Having stayed in many of the yhs in Australia,this was definately the worst and could not wait to get out of it! Rooms were dingy and very damp - sheets were marked and the bed creaked all night. No air conditioning and a noisy fan attached to a dodgy looking plug. There was free breakfast but was told in no... More

This could be a great hostel, but unfortunately the owner is one of the most vile humans I have ever met. He starts of friendly and helpful, but soon enough something snaps in his head and he's off yelling at guests or staff. Several people during my stay were afraid of him and left as soon as possible. He really... More

I was very happy to stay at this backpackers. The room and bed was clean and drawers were provided for personal belongings. Breakfast was also provided which made it even better. Not really central location, but courtesy bus provided. More

The only reason I stayed at this hostel was because of the free bus to Australia zoo which is advertised on there website. There is NOT a free bus to the zoo only to the bus stop which costs 5 dollars to the zoo! The room was small and not worth the money! Dorm rooms looked ok! I got picked... More

The reason I stopped at this YHA was due to it being the closest to Australia zoo and it advertises on the website that the hostel provides a free bus to the zoo. NOT the case! You get dropped of at a pick up point for the zoo and it costs $5 a person. So I guess that is false... More

Dear traveller Sorry to hear that you felt there was nothing to do here, we are currently training new staff of which we hope would give you plenty of choices and activities to do, either in the hostel or outside the hostel like Eumundi markets/Australia zoo/Underwater world/Glass House mountains as well as the hostel being close to the river which...

This was the best hostel I've ever stayed at! The staff was super nice, and went way above and beyond what was required of them. They shuttled us into town almost any time we asked and pointed out all the good eating places. They have free breakfast and so many food deals for starving students, it was amazing. The kayak,...

We arrived late Sat afternoon and immediately felt relaxed after a long drive.Dove straight into the pool, which was just beautiful, then milled around in the lounge and aclimatised ourselves with the surroundings. The hostel itself seemed out of place at first (seems in the middle of suburbia) but is welcoming and has a nice relaxed atmosphere about it. The... More

Stayed here for two nights in June in a four bed dorm with my wife, it was our first experience of a dorm as we had previously stayed in a hostel but in a double room. Although the rooms are small they are clean and comfortable. The hostel itself is also very clean and friendly staff. The kitchen is large... More

We loved staying at the YHA in Maroochydore. This was a colorful little jungle bungalow with great staff, great service, and great activities. Gail and Allison were so friendly and helpful - helped us get around and save money on transportation. The bathrooms are shared, but I've never seen so many ammenities - tissue, lotion, even a flat iron in... More
