SICK spot. BRING WATER
Affordable liveaboard to get out on the Great Barrier Reef! Very simple bunkies, amazing diving. I was able to get my Advanced Open Water Diver certification on board
Gorgeous.
Worth the hype. AWESOME
Funky spot! Just came here for dessert and it was SPECIAL!
FOOD in shipping containers - very COOL and YUMMY
Not many food recos for Aus, sorry folks. Was on a budget and mostly cooked my own food!! BUT fruit was delicious and cheap. Go get mango from the grocery store.
Huge and delicious chicken parm, with fries AND a salad!
Yummy and cozy vibes
Walking distance to the beach, nice big kitchen, clean beds, friendly staff!
Massive hostel - great location, nice pool, sick kitchen. Good for meeting people, not ideal for quiet time! Lol
Loved it here! Nice pool in a very cool space. I stayed here before and after a few nights out diving, and they let me store my stuff.
Nice enough, but a BIG hostel in the city, with a bar. Very loud and crowded
Cheapest room I could find… Shared bathroom, in the back of an Italian restaurant - it worked!
