I enjoyed that the hostel is not too big, so very easy to socialize and get to know new people. The free Bbq on sunday is great! Also the common areas are nice and the kitchen is bright and has everything you need.

Very nice hostel! I stayed there on my trip to the Great barrier reef. The staff and guests are very friendly and welcoming. Its quiet, ensures a restful and pleasant stay. Also maintains high standards of hygiene and tidiness.
