We are two French backpackers who stayed at the hotel from 19/03/2025 to 22/03/2025. The check-in went very smoothly, and the two girls at the reception were attentive and available throughout our stay. The place is quite small, with around twenty guests, which makes it both quiet and friendly. Moreover, Veronica kindly left a note on our door to let us know that one of her friends could offer us a job for the day. The check-out also went very well, and we were advised to visit the market, just a two-minute walk from the hotel, which takes place every Saturday. We highly recommend this hotel with our eyes closed!

This was a lovely place to stay. I stayed in one of the private “go rooms”, which was like a private room made from a trailer on wheels. It was surprisingly cozy! I liked how there were sufficient share facilities and a large kitchen/dining area. The place was centrally located in town, making it easy to walk down to the park to go look for platypus. I’d recommend it.

A small box-room likes garden shed.

I won't stay here again. Just a bed and shelves. Threed steps down and walk to outside toilet and shower room, very difficult at night. Very small hand basin, can not properly brush teeth or wash face.

Really nice hostel in Yungaburra, and the night canoe was a fun experience. I’m only docking a star because our Expedia reservation that we paid in advance was nowhere in their system, and we only got a room (that we booked months beforehand) because there happened to be availability. This worked out fine for us in the end, but the hotel needs to work this out to avoid issues in future. Expedia also says the check in time is 4pm when it’s actually 2pm, so there is some disconnect here. Other than that, we’d stay here again!
