It’s a cute little place for a night rest. The bed and mattress need updating though. It creaked every time I moved.

After multiple stays, it gets better each time. It's a very welcoming and home-like atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the rooms are nice and the location is really convenient. The amenities are great too and it very nice to meet fellow travellers.

Really friendly staff, great feel to the place. Only sub standard was the bed was very creaky and you woke your partner when rolling over or moving
Alastair, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was beautifully done up and clean. The amenities including the kitchen in the lodge was sufficient to cater the large crowd. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lakes at the national park were amazing. We enjoyed the walk around the lakes although we did not sight many birds.

Great stay. Great communication from Veronica and Bella was very welcoming….a heater for those cold nights would be great too

Great location and friendly staff. Even an open fire at night. Loved the outside/inside bathroom. Cotton sheets and and a non squeeky bed would have made it perfect

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Loved the communal atmosphere Beautifully maintained and clean
Janet, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Mark, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
