My heart goes to the staff that welcomed from the first day. Fabio behind the counter able to work under pressure like a giant. Ilaria at the reception desk, managing the operations perfectly. Stella at the bar which always has a chat with the guests. The kitchen which prepared a perfect lunch with my allergens. The hostel has relaxed vibe, perfect to return after the day out and rest.The pool is awesome and refreshing, the kitchen and the bathroom well cleaned in a tropical climate. The wildlife is just amazing koalas, kangaroos and possums play under the birds all hours. Amazing the dormitory. Spacious and fine clean, with a genius keyless door. The big mango tree at the entrance really set the vibes. Hammocks, bean bags and couch do the rest. Inside the gates there is massive space with camping area and spaced cabins. You can get lost looking at the big palms or following a curlew. Will return

Best place to stay on Maggie! The dormitory is only 6 people, and all single beds, so no bunk. The kitchen is big and very nice to cook in, and they do recycle! I love the hammocks and the pool. Really best hostel ever. And the owner is so nice, and so is his cutie dog

Quiet location Comfortable room King Louie (friendly dog) made sure we were always back safe and was just so cute. It’s really good to stay in Picnic Bay as it’s the start of the bus line so you can always get a seat on the bus. Make sure to bring food to the island as you’re a long way from the IGA (but there are some supplies for sale at the accommodation).

Probably one of the best budget accommodations in Australia : cleverly conceived, small but pleasant rooms in a lush garden with a sink, a very efficient fridge and a flat-screen TV. The shared bathroom, big common kitchen and comfy lounge are all conveniently close to the rooms. There's even a lovely dog which you can take out for a walk. The location is great, close to the jetty and the bus terminal. The bus even stops in front of the hotel if asked.

Great place to stay close to the beach and bars/restaurants, great connections for public transport to the rest of the island too. Clean and comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Adam is a great host, always made sure we were okay and was so helpful offering us the room until we found more permanent accommodation on the island. He also has the loveliest dog Louie :)
