I came to Hervey Bay for the week and stayed here. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms and the property are beyond clean and I couldn't have asked for a more pleasurable stay in Hervey Bay. The prices are very reasonable considering all the amenities offered. Waking up every morning here to the sound of the Kookaburras... More

We stayed at YHA Hervey Bay end of January. Even though the weather was dreadful (just before the floods!!) we had a really nice stay here. Nice, helpfull staff, a big camping area where we could put up our tent, a huge but at the same time cosy communal area with cheap meals and bar and nice kitchens. We really... More

We had one of the villas here, in this beautiful place, set in rainforest. Everything was really good, clean, tidy and comfortable. Colonial Village is a short walk from the nearby beach and short drive from the main beaches. The staff are very friendly and the common rooms and kitchen for those in dorms is good. WiFi is a good... More

This place is part of YHA but is not really like others YHA all around Australia. It's not really a backpacker place for young travellers. It's more a place for families. The hotel is quiet but so quiet sometimes it's just... dead. Some days the bar close very early because there are no customers or just a few. They don't... More

A fun courtesy bus driver was our first contact to the friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are old but nice and clean. Had a good sleep here! The rooms are surrounded by gardens and you can hear different kind of birds singing all day long.The location isn't the best possible but it's worth hiring a bike from the hostel... More

We couldn't fault this Hostel. Excellent value for money. Our double room was very spacious with en-suite, fridge, aircon, fan,etc. The room had its own veranda with bench seat overlooking well kept gardens. The pool was very good with sun loungers. The Hostel is set in a large well kept plot. The owners were always friendly and helpful and had... More

Dont know if it was because it was raining and the hostel had not a lot of guests, but the rooms were great, the bathrooms are in the rooms. The resting area, pool table and bar is pretty cool and nice. The staff has been awesome! I clearly recommend it if you go to Hervey Bay!
