Went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised! Great value for money & great facilities, staff were friendly and helpful and perfect for stopping off before/after K’gari. Vibes quiet but not unpleasant and easily accessible via local bus. Overall, a great stay!

I only gave 4 stars, because I had to pay $5 for a towel. I think that is bad If it was a deposit, I would understand.

Hostel is lovely and chilled. Staff are very kind and very helpful. Only negative really is that it is about a 25-30 minute walk from supermarkets. Would stay again, lovely place.

I stayed in the double bed private room. The hostel is a 10 minute walk from the bus stop. The outdoor of the hostel is nice. There is no ambience. My biggest complaint is that there is no soundproofing between the rooms. I could hear the person next door snoring and his alarm woke me up in the morning. I would not sleep there if you are a light sleeper.

Stay at ecoshed was good, beds were comfy and felt safe. Sometimes because of the tin walls you could hear people moving around when they got up but otherwise slept well, not a bad location and was able to get everywhere fairly quickly. Has lots of amenities which was good and really liked that you got your own plate,bowl, cutlery and tea towel provided for you in a box. Good facilities with kitchen, Grills and kettles, really enjoyed.

I arrived at 6 AM and had informed the property in advance, but was told I wasn’t welcome until after 9 AM. With no options offered, I let myself in — not very friendly or flexible. It’s also tricky that you have to call reception when using an eSIM. Staff said they never got complaints about it. Early check-in at 10:30 AM was appreciated, and rooms were clean. Overall fine, but disappointed by the lack of understanding.

Cool gemacht und nettes Petsonal aber relativ weit entfernt von allem. Bus fahren ist nicht sehr einfach. Gerade am Sonntag

Fine but do not stay here if you have late transport out of Hervey Bay. Most hostels would allow you to keep your belongings there at least until reception closes, and to stay in the common areas of hostel on the day of checkout. Not possible here. Staff were nice about it but explained that the owners are strict and live onsite so watch all. Stranded in a city from 5pm-10pm on our own as young female backpackers, no advice or alternatives were given. Common issue for other guests we found. :(

Pretty hostel and chill vibe. Reception is only available on call, which is useless if you use an E-sim. Besides the beach everuthing was at least 30 mins walking away. Door on private room was impossible to lock.

The private rooms here are lovely and comfortable and the shared bathrooms are clean. I slept well and would definitely stay there again. However, I would avoid the dorms in the future, there is no sounds insulation between the rooms, the beds are old and very creaky, the mattress was old and gave no support and the blanket was very itchy. Didn’t sleep well at all there unfortunately.

Very basic hostel, lacked atmosphere but was clean. Only 1 washer and dryer on site. Walls were very thin and my room was facing the main road so lots of noise from traffic. Not to far from the beach. They were accommodating of a late check in and made this simple and straightforward.

Hostel ist eine Art Waldhütte. Mäuse in der Küche usw. gewöhnungsbedürftig. Getrennte Duschen wünschenswert.
