  It was 40 degree heat around August when I stayed, I walked into this hostel and the pool looked enormous. But that's not even the good thing. I walked upstairs and unlocked the room I was given time stay and I witnessed the owner wrestle a fully grown salt water crocodile with his bear hands

  My gf and I paid for a double air con bedroom on the night of Territory Day and it was a pleasent stay. Air con worked perfectly which provided a chilly shelter from the outside heat. The place isn't massive so the size of the shower/toilet was good for the number of guests. Breakfast was provided, cereal, toast, tea, coffee and milk. Tea and coffee all day complimentary. Great chill out area inside and out with sofas/chairs/tables. Swimming pool and jacuzzi as well which is a great perk. Washing machine and tumble dryer for $4 each. Also a clothes line but gets busy. I think there's a few long term residents there. Cleanliness overall was okay. Nothing to deter us from staying there again. Price reasonable, we paid $56 for double air con room but this was before high season I think.

  The Hostel is actually pretty good and a normal Backpacker Hostel... The rooms are big enough and got plenty of room for luggage. The kitchen is a bit small but clean!

  The only thing are the people... Beside some young backpackers, there are some strange locals who are staying there. Some of them are looking like homeless people.

  Staff are rude and arrogant, cleaning is well below standard, beds are very uncomfortable and the bunks have no ladders to get onto top bunks. Pool and spas are not maintained... instead they have a sign saying not to put your head under the water. Wi-Fi is terrible and 200mb is a joke, common kitchen is an absolute pig sty and hasn't seen a propper clean in months possibly years. Fridges are filthy and some do not hold the correct temperature. Bathrooms and toilets are not properly cleaned. Most staff are live in workers and to be quite frank, are grumpy old sods that do not know how to run a backpackers hostel. There is a strict NO GLASS rule which is not mentioned anywhere in the booking sites and an 11pm curfew at which point the staff quite rudely tell you to go over to the park across the road. If you complain about anything at all they tell you to leave and they refuse to give any refunds. The photos of this place on the booking sites and most of the ones on google are from when it was run by previous owners or management and I can assure you that standard has not been maintained. I will never stay here again and I would strongly advise to stay away from here.

  Cheap price, air conditioned rooms and fair rules it seems. Allowed mixed sex dorms which was good since I was there with my partner but not good if you want to hear others having sex
