I really enjoyed staying at this YHA! I stayed there for 2 weeks and loved every minute of it! The staff was very friendly and around to help if you needed anything. They have daily events going on like free BBQ night, free ice cream night, and games night! You can also borrow the kayaks, fishing rods, and boogie boards... More

We had loads of fun with free BBQ and kayaking on the river. Just a short walk into town for nature lovers this is the place to be! Only stopped for 3 days wish we had time for a week. The owner and staff go out of there way to help.. More

We really enjoyed Maroochydore itself, lovely place, great shopping mall. The Canadian guy who picked us up was really nice and chatty. The YHA was a bit out of the way, and a little strange. We had a four bed dorm plus a double bed separated by a curtain, im assuming that was supposed to be a private room. Anyway,... More

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

Response to TripAdvisor asking for the review to be removed as it is from an ex employee which had the same heading but was removed and replaced - I strongly believe this to be an ex employee, terminated for their aggressive behavior and lack of performance.It seems unfair that this review is still viewable given the factual inaccuracies.

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

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
