Our stay was amazing! The staff is so nice, the atmosphere is chill and peaceful. You literally live in the nature. Our little house was perfect and directly in the jungle. We were in the middle of birds and wallabies. Food at restaurant was really good! Our stay cannot be better!

All hostels in Townsville

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen is super spacious and you have everything you need (even an air fryer). Rooms are nice and super clean. The patio is nice as well. All staff is beyond, but special mention to Arthur who might have been the best ever in all hotels we’ve ever been to.

I have travelled consistently in hostels for the last 5 years and this was the best hostel that I’ve experienced. The amenities were all functional, clean and they had clean hand towels and clean bath mats. This alone speaks volumes about how well this hostel is maintained. The pool is magnificent. This hostel was a breath of fresh air on the journey of hostel life for a seasoned backpacking traveller.
