Pippies Beach House Rainbow Beach

Terrible hostel, had to stay in the middle hut and couldn't sleep because of the noise. Staff knows about this but don't care. It was also dirty and not well maintained. Worst hostel I've stayed.

Kitchen was an absolute tip, everything was dirty and stained, stove is so old and when lighting with a lighter it hardly ever stays on, bathrooms were dirty every time you went into them, seems like they just don’t care about the well fair or state of the facilities.

This hostel was a deeply disappointing stay, largely due to constant noise and poor management. Despite a clearly stated noise curfew on website, it was not enforced at all. Loud music, talking, and general disruption continued until around 3 a.m. For anyone hoping to rest before or after tours, this made sleeping nearly impossible and completely unacceptable. When issues were raised, staff were dismissive and it wasn’t until the final day that there was any sense of being listened to.

A really outdated apartment. you’re paying way too much for what you get. On top of that, it wasn’t clean.

The worst hostel we stayed in along the east coast. There were only a couple of bathrooms for the entire hostel and they were all filthy. There was a single plug socket in the room, nowhere to put your bags and no lock boxes. The kitchen is also very basic and the staff at reception were inattentive and unhelpful.

The staff working there is extremely rude and unprofessional towards their guest. They were talking s**t and laughing about my friend while I stood behind them. When I confronted them they started acting crazy and yelled at us.. The whole place is dirty and outdated. Would not recommend this place to anyone! Be smart and choose the hostel next door instead (dingo’s) they are great!

RUDE STAFF

Not the best hostel, bathrooms not very clean wet towels on the floor, our room was situated in the kitchen which wasn't ideal for noise, rooms very hot air con situated behind the curtains would probably choose somewhere else to stay prior to fraser tour

A lot of cockroaches in my room!!! And toilets and showers really dirty

I stayed here for one night in the shared tent. The tent itself was fine and to be expected. The kitchen was absolutely disgusting - needs way more attention. This is the worst hostel I stayed in in my month in Aus

Good hostel good tour

It was an amazing experience, if you do the Fraiser tour I would definitely recommend staying here the days before or after, they give great recommendations for activities on the island and the staff is really nice and helpful, especially meike helped me out a lot. The price is really good and if you like nature they have plenty of trees and plats in the outdoor area where you can lay in a chair and enjoy your morning coffee. Loved it! 💕

Tour: worth every penny, shout-out to Cory who was an absolute legend and looked out for us in every way (group 166)! amazing experiences and met some great people- if you're thinking of doing it at all, please do! Hostel: no idea why this gets bad reviews as I was expecting filth but got clean rooms and facilities for a much better price than next door. great staff too, homey feeling! great location right next to the intercity bus stop too

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt dort. Es ist sehr süß und hat einen tollen Vibe. Es war nicht super sozial, sonst war aber alles in Ordnung. Das Personal war Mega lieb und insgesamt kann ich das Hostel gut weiterempfehlen. :)

Gute Unterkunft für die Nacht vor Fraser

Small hostel, cozy. The staff is helpful and lovely.

Pippies was very social, and was a great overnight stop. However, a lot of the facilities were ran down.

Perfect location, friendly stuff, fair price. Only the kitchen could be a little bigger and the hostel was not made for the pouring rain that we were facing due to the cyclone

Best “budget” hostel on the east coast. Vibe was 10/10, the location was amazing with the greyhound/ flix bus stop right outside! The people were amazing, the staff were amazing. Not one fault! 5 min walk to the beach, few minute walks too shop/ cafes. The hostel wasn’t busy with people, everyone was friendly. Couldn’t have had a better experience. The bedrooms were a little out dated however you were hardly in it. Will be back.

Good value. Nice rooms and nice staff. Very chill vibe. Great location would recommend

Nice hostel with nice facilities and comfortable beds. Not very social at all but did the job for one night. Receptionists were lovely.

Good if on a budget but i wouldnt stay here again. My room was basically in the kitchen which was strange and could hearpeople through the walls all night. only one charger in room, thankfully i had an adaptor everyone could use. also dryer didnt dry clothes. Staff weren't very enthusiastic. I would recommend spending extra and stay next door at Freedom

We enjoyed our short stay here. Private room was really nice and facilities are good!

One of my Favorite hostels in Australia so far. Friendly and helpful staff, Kitchen was very well equipped (Blender, french press, bialetti). Too bad that some people don’t respect the quiet hours in the kitchen.

Stayed both before and after my K’gari tour in the tent. Room was alright and beds were comfortable. The indoor spaces are great, but limited if raining. Location is very convenient for the tours and the bus. Easy to walk to locations in the area.

Nice little stop off point on the way up the East Coast, especially if you’re planning to visit K’gari. Very basic hostel, small rooms (but air con!), kitchen was a reasonable size but a bit dirty, and the cooking utensils had seen better days. Atmosphere was great, we met some great people!

Fine hostel, not fancy but it has what you need.
