I spent a few days in a van on one of the campervan sites they offer. Decent price especially for Airlie beach but the amenities are pretty dirty, small and smelly which kinda tainted my perception of the place. Nice staff and a fairly nice site otherwise tho.

DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN THE COMMUNAL KITCHEN. We had an entire bag of new groceries taken and a girl in our dorm had the same thing happen, which makes us think people are watching for people coming back from the shops. The place has a good atmosphere however the kitchen is absolutely disgusting with soaking wet towels under the fridge which weren't changed the whole time we were there, ants all over the food cupboards and the largest cockroach I have ever seen in our dorms bathroom. There was also no equipment at all in the kitchen, nor to hire out, we were given a paper cup which we had to make last 3 days!!!

They have asbestos and their rooms are trash. Shed bar is cool though.

Rooms are pretty low quality, but perfectly acceptable for the rate and the type of hostel. Nice pools, a bar on site and friendly staff.

Rooms were clean and spacious. Lively bar on site as well as a pool and volleyball area. Massive complex of dorms catering to all sorts. Wi-Fi was broken however.

It's a party hostel. A lot of fun if you like to drink and dance and be close to everything.
If you want to sleep early request a room as far from the bar as possible. It still won't be very far. I spent the first night farthest from the bar and found it bearable.
-Very lively bar with live music during the day and then club music at night. The atmosphere at this bar was actually really nice, felt a little like a festival with people spinning fire, someone busting out a saxophone, decent dj.
-Kitchen was weird. No cutlery like someone mentioned before.
-Nice pool, laundry services were good.
-Hammocks outside to lounge in and a pool.
-Bathroom in each unit which is a perk. The minus is that the toilet stall offers little privacy with a huge gap. If you're poop shy I imagine this setup to be your nightmare.
-They're still sharing facilities with Base since the cyclone so be aware of that. Check in was average length for me at peak time. Not crazy, moved along. Staff were all pleasant.
-my bed was comfy enough. Room smelled clean when I came in.

Great hostel in the center of Airlie. It's close to everything unless you're lazy
My room looked new, had a private bathroom and comfortable mattress That was all I needed ! They do have a bar in house but it didn't bother me to fall asleep with some live music.
However, the receptionists could have been more pleasant so I could have give 5 stars 😆
A courtesy shuttle to the Greyhound would be appreciable too !response / report this review -

Location is nice, and I don't know if it's because of the cyclone a few weeks ago but it seems as Nomads and XBase joined together into one. Check in was dreadful, as it took an extra 3 hours for me to check in, the rooms are basic at best. Outlets are mainly upon one wall and make charging a hassle, as you have to leave your phone elsewhere to charge it, there's no wifi (you have to pay but you can't even connect to it), and there's no lockers in your room. Kitchen area is small and crowded (also probably due to the cyclone and two hostels joining together), but it lacks most of the basic amenities in kitchens as well. Barely any cooking wear, barely any dishes and there is an extreme lack in cutlery. For almost 30 bucks a night I expect a little better. There's a couple of bars on property so noise is definitely to be expected at night. Only good thing is the location.

Big area. Nice rooms with aircon and bathroom. Bar was very loud in the night. But tasty and cheap tacos and sausages.

Good hostel, maybe distances are too big between kitchen, reception and some of the rooms. We stayed in a four-share two nights and were alone both nights, room was fresh and clean but the gap under the door allowed both lizards and cockroaches to get inside the room. But were kinda used to that by now and just blocked the gap under the door with a towel. Kitchen was too small and hot and could really need more cooking utilities such as pans, pots and knives! Would recommend :)

Dorms are tidy and airconditioned. No cutlery for free. Kitchen has to be better in the future

Noisy nightclub just beside, don't stay in dorm if you want sleep. Nice receptionist but not very informative. No electronic plugs by top bunk bed. Been in way better hostels that u even can get a decent sleep that even is named as party hostels. No lockers to put bags in nor storage in the room so everyone have their bags on the floor. = SUPER MESSY! no where to hang towel after shower. Hangers is super important in a hostel.
