We went then for an overnight stay. The room was great, and looked exactly like on the photos! Check-in went easy, and staff was friendly

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. Great vibe and something on every day to join in, if you want to. I stayed in the double room with my own bathroom. It was very quiet despite how busy the hostel was.

Simply the best!
So far one of the best hostels in Australia! Staff are amazing, cleanest hostel I’ve been to here, and their events are all great. The free shuttle is appreciated. Beds are very comfy and there was a light, outlet, and shelf by the bed! The holy trinity of hostel amenities. And free breakfast. I don’t know what else a backpacker could ask for!

The staff were all fantastic, friendly and helpful in informing me about tours in the area. The location was slightly away from the main area of Noosa Heads but close to Sunshine Beach.

Great hostel. We had a very comfortable double room that was private. Great facilities, location and brilliant staff. The shuttle bus is a really helpful bonus that runs regularly. Would recommend staying here.

High quality private room in hostel atmosphere
Private room was very comfortable with it's own AC unit, great towels, and nice waterfall shower looking out onto a private outdoor area. I arrive late, a few minutes past 9pm, which is when their reception closed and I wasn't able to get their calls telling me the key was in the dropbox. It looked like a nice kitchen where you can store your food and lots of hang out room. The hostel is located a bit further away from.the center of Noosa, but Uber is everywhere. Most restaurants close at 10pm and there isn't a ton around the hostel. It was well known for my tour and there were many other tour brochures available at reception. Great for a overnight before my tour and probably a good base to go onto other areas.

It's a little bit of a walk, but a nice walk, out of smcity center. They do have shuttle busses if the walk is to much for you. The place is tight but very well out together.

Hi there Natalie I am sorry you thought the bedding was smelly and the room was scummy. Would you mind being more specific? We do launder the rooms and bedding every day and we are due to refurbish the private rooms over this coming winter as well.

Very nice hostel - clean and good service. Free breakfast which is not common in Australia, and good common areas overall. Only negative is that it’s a little bit away from the main beach but they have a shuttle. The walk is not too bad either. Highly recommended!

Very nice hostel, a little far from main sites
This hostel was very clean and the service was great! I liked that it was quiet, perfect for getting a good nights sleep. Please note that it is located between Noosa beach/park entrance and sunshine beach, and it may be better to catch a bus or shuttle to these locations rather than walk. The hostel has a free shuttle, but somehow the times never seemed to work for me.

Easy to find. Very friendly staff. Great room and very comfortable. Loved the shower and looking outside to the greenery. Only a short 5 min drive to Noosa where I was attending a family birthday. I felt safe and secure being on my own. Recommend highly!

Really nice hostel with plenty of things to do during the day if you stay in (board games, music instruments, TV, pool, etc). They also provide free rental of surf board and bodyboard. Plus the free transportation to the city center. The rooms were nice, wifi in the rooms was hit or miss depending on the distance of your room to the common area. The only draw back I have was the girl working at the front desk on the 5-6th of sept. When I got in, she was finishing with someone else, so after I paid, she assumed I had heard and understood everything she had said to the previous person. When I came back a bit later for advise on restaurants, she was on the phone (I don't know if it was personal or work related), but after waiting 3-5 min in front of her, she went into their small staff room for more privacy I assume and only came out a few minutes later, still on the phone, by that point since she didn't seem ready to help me, I left and used google. The new girl however is super nice and cheerful. The owners also seem quite nice. Overall, a great place to stay on the cheap in Noosa.

Look forward to facility Upgrading
I’ve stayed in a ensuit room in 2011, which was new, modern and cozy. Loved it so much. Therefore, I decide to stay here again for short holiday in August 2018. Pros: 1.Staff explained the facility and services very well. 2.Public kitchen is still very clean and tidy. 3.Useful Information disclose everywhere such as WIFI PSW or job accommodation exchange, free shuttle bus timetable. 4. Very Nice to have hairdryer in the shower room. ( some backpacker don’t supply unless asking ) Cons: 1.One of lamp has a missing bulb. Staff replace it immediately which is good. 2. When entering the room #9, it’s doesn’t smell nice, on contrary, it smells very damp with all doors closed for a long time. 3. Especially carpet could make the smell worse due to use for years. 4. Shower room is very... exposed to the neighbor at the back. Would be nice have a light curtain. *Shower head is old with stains and damaged. *Mirror has few black big stains partly because it’s aged. 5. Green wall has very rough surface, nearly scratch my skin to bleed accidentally. 6. The bed frame has reached end of its life due to every move made squeaky noise. Mattress and pillow are absolutely soft to cause sore back and neck after a night sleep. Flash packer is a good hostel, however, it absolutely needs attention to minor details since I stayed there last time which is 7 years ago. I don’t want to be difficult but I do look forward its changes.
