Very very remote. Would only recommend if you have a car. The hostelrooms are rather old and run down. Same goes for the facilities. The staff is lovely though, and helped me out great. Loads of bugs and other animals around though, especially when its night so if you don't like that don't go. Okay hostel but not the best.

Sehr sauberes Hostel, schön eingerichtet, freundliches Personal. Liegt eher abgelegen im Regenwald.

I really loved the hostel and the remote location in the jungle. I rented a bike and explored the area. Only downside was that the shuttle service didn’t operate and they didn’t let me know beforehand so I paid $30 for a 15 min taxi 🙃 just double check before you go there!

Great Hostel for a relax after Whitsunday and Kgari week. In a really nice jungle setting. Only downside is the amount of bugs in the evening!

I had such a nice stay. The staff were really friendly and the location is really beautiful. It rained while I was there but they have a cute cafe and bar in the hostel so it was great. It’s very easy to get there easy get there and around with the local transport service. I definitely recommend staying here and will hopefully stay again.

A great place to stay set in the rainforest, lovely swimming pool, good kitchen facilities, a cafe / bar which sold delicious bagels, breakfast muffins, cafes. I was in a 6 bed dorm, there wasn't any lockers or curtains on the beds but didn't really matter. They turned the air-conditioning off from 10am to 4pm and the room got extremely hot and took about another 2 hrs to cool down which was very annoying, especially if you want to chill out there. The cafe also shuts from 2-4pm.

Room and facilities were fairly basic but had everything we needed for a short stay. It’s a bit out of the way but being in the rainforest is cool and it’s easy enough to get in and out of town with the buses. Overall a really chill vibe around the place and would happily stay again if I was ever back in Mission Beach.

Our stay at Jackaroo Hostel in Mission Beach was absolutely incredible and one of the best hostel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, understanding, and genuinely happy to help. We made a booking mistake and accidentally reserved just one bed for four people — but they immediately sorted it out with no fuss at all, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Their professionalism and kindness really stood out. The location...

Heel fijn hostel! Leuk om hikes te doen en even lekker in de natuur te zitten. Zit wel wat verder weg van het stadje/supermarkt. Maakte het verblijf niet minder leuk. Hele chille accommodatie, aardig personeel en schone keuken/badkamers. Doordat het wat kleiner is raak je snel aan de praat met andere backpackers. Ik zou het zeker aanraden!
