Pros: The location was perfect to walk to town and across the road from the marina. Staff were so friendly and really helpful especially Peter who gave me some great recommendations on what to do with my day around the beach. Dorm was nice and cosy, plenty of room and the bathrooms were always kept clean. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great to just sit out and relax in the evening.

Pros: The folks working here were very nice, helpful and enjoyable to talk to. It was clean and had cute things all around it like a map to pin where you’re from and other traveler focused things. The breakfast and evening sausage sandwiches were great and cheap. Everyone there seemed really respectful of each other and cool.

Pros: The location is great as it’s not far from the greyhound terminal and about a 10 min walk to the centre of town - Airlie is tiny. Nice chilled vibes, friendly staff, clean. I stayed 11 nights in the end as it was a nice place to be and just relax.

Cons: Run by backpackers. Attitude is this is a party place. I am a mature lady extremely well travelled all over the world. I was treated like a complete idiot I felt very uncomfortable staying here. The room was very old, tap dripped all the time even though I complained. Only given a sheet for cover on bed. It was freezing I complain about this and was given a blanket. Price was very expensive for a backpackers.
