I found the place a little strange to be honest, I think it's because it's not like a normal youth hostel. Hervey Bay is also a strange place. Anyway the hostel staff were excellent - so helpful and friendly, and honest. When I stayed (Jan 2012), there was a shuttle car which picked me up from the coach terminal, and... More

Loved this place; they knew exactly what we wanted & needed before we did. The receptionist was really friendly & spotted an error in a tour we booked with times & got on the phone straight away & fixed everything without us saying a word except thank you. Food was delicious, fairly priced & excellent quality, & I loved the... More

The town doesn't have so much to offer, but with the way the hostel is set up there is no need to venture out. It is the perfect place to spend a few days and sort everything out before going on to travel again. Gorgeous atmosphere and relaxed setting. Definitely recommend it!

We stayed in a double room. Initially seemed like great value for money however we wouldn't stay here again. Receptionist was very efficient & very friendly - that was the highlight of our stay. Room issues: -We could lock the fly screen but the sliding glass door could not be closed all the way, did not feel very secure -... More

One of the best YHA's I have visited! We stayed on the campsite, it was nice and shaded. Loads of wild birds in the trees. The facilities were clean and in good order, the bar was particularly good. They even provided cheap food (great when backpacking!) We used reception to book several trips (Lady Elliot Island and horse riding) they... More

Really good value, good facilities too plus a busy bar with food available if required. Kitchen was ok, with all the equipment you would need plus nice environment for those camping albeit was a bit of a walk to the toilets and little in the way of lights at night. still, for those like us with a basic camper and...

I stayed here on my way north from Brisbane. it feels more like a holiday park than a backpackers. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm with ensuite, which was offered to me at a "special price" of $30/night. dorm was clean and spacious (no bunks) and bathroom facilities were good. small kitchen next door was functional as well. I... More

Hervey Bay is just a place where you transit to Fraser Island. So we had to stay there for one night and chose the YHA. The place is so far from town...no time to visit, but anyway I don't think thats a place to choose if you don't have a car. Fortunately, there is a pick-up service from the bus... More

We had an Oak Villa with two adults, two kids. It was big, much space to sort and store. Everything was quite used and old but clean. Cutlery not complete but ok. Staff very friendly and informative. Bar/Restaurant food excellent, Pizza and Garlic Bread highly recommended. Hervey Bay is definitely worth a stay.
