Decent rooms, nice ambience, the quieter cousin of the party hostel across the road. The lounge area was nice though there was no bar (which I had the impression there was from the adverts). The outside area was beautiful, some nice lounge chairs and hammocks, though it was pretty much offlimits because of the mosquito’s… no fault of the hostel,... More

Positives: Friendly upfront welcome. Comfortable beds. Receptionist calm under French pressure. Hammocks everywhere. Clean and tidy rooms. Plenty of plants. Efficient service. General coolness and atmosphere. Excellent communal area reminiscent of a shooting lodge. Negatives: Distance to toilets. Distinctively un-free wifi

We stayed here for two nights before and after our Fraser Island trip. There is a large common area with TV and plenty of tables to sit at. It is fairly small so never got that busy. The kitchen was a bit cramped with a couple of people in their cooking. People didn't seem to follow the usual wash and... More

Was stuck in Hervey Bay because of floodings but The Woolshed made our waitingtime VERY pleasant! A very calm place to stay :0) Only thing to notice is that the hostel is small and you should book in advance.

Hostel very good ! Nice kitchen with lounge room also. Very nice area outside to relax and enjoy the sun (with BBQ). The room was very clean with TV (you can also barrow some DVD at the reception). But they don't have internet and you have to pay if you want to leave your luggage for the day...

I stayed at this hostel last year whilst travelling in Australia. the rooms were lovely and homely, the facilities and surroundings are great but the manager/owner was really unhelpful and rude. This tarnished our stay somewhat, although I would still recommend this hostel as it is lovely the owner leaves something to be desired.

We've stayed at the Woolshed for two nights, with a two day trip to Fraser Island in between the two nights. The Woolshed is a quite personal Hostel which seems to be privately run. It is comprised of several buildings which surround a tropical inyard with hammocks and a BBQ area. The kitchen is accompanied by a large common area... More

Woolshed is a lovely little place, run by some very attentive and keen-to-please management. The garden is paradisaical; I could have spending hours lying in the afternoon sun in the hammocks (and often ended up do so!). The kitchen is one of the best-equipped and cleanest I've seen for this price bracket. We even got a free room upgrade which... More

My stay here started badly...by booking through AGODA, they did not communicate my booking correctly, and my 2 travel companions had to find another place to stay for the first of our 4 nights. Not good. However, the staff fixed our problem quickly and with little fuss, even though it was a problem not of their making. The garden here... More
