I arrived in Airlie Beach early in the morning and in a hurry to meet a tour shuttle, but the staff at Base was really helpful. I was able to store my luggage for free during the day before I checked in, and was given clear directions to my pick-up location despite the crazy road work going on in town.... More

This hostel is well located din Airlie Beach. The room was large and clean, it had a kitchen area and large bathroom with a whirlpool tub. The internet computers in the lobby are a total scam, it cost $4 for one hour and the connection is hopelessly slow. The gardens and pool were nice. Excellent value (except the internet computers).

Being a hostel i was expecting a rough stay but I was really surprised by this place. Overall we had a lovely stay here and would have happily stayed longer. Granted we had a private triple room and not a dormitory. The room was nice and big. the beds were very comfortable. The gardens were fabulous, beautifully landscaped with nice... More

We stayed in a private 4 bed dorm for 4 nights in March, location wise this is perfect for the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. Unfortunately the staff behind the desk, bless them, Sam to be covering the work of about 10 people - meaning that whatever you want whether it is checking in, there's a problem with your room,...

We shared a 5 bed dormitory. First we had to wait quiet a long time to get to talk to someone. The room was not clean. The toilets were smelly, there were hair in the shower and the kitchenette was not clean....(you could see that it was just wiped once, but not cleaned...). The freezer had a 4 cm ice... More

I shared a 4 bed dorm with ensuite bathroom. Outside were hammocks, a swimming poole and next door a pub that offered a steak meal and a drink for 10 AUD! " mins from the beach and lagoon. Excellent washing facilities and kitchen. Clean and friendly with helpful staff.
