The hostel overall looks good and initially comes across very well. However I felt that the manager and other male receptionist were extremely unhelpful and arrogant. Their attitude made me never want to stay there again or recommend to anyone, which is a shame because there are a few good points. For example it is very clean and does have... More

We stayed here for one night on a trip through agnes water. Unfortunately the weather was awful so we spent a lot of time inside. Luckily the common area is great with loads of sofas and bean bags and a TV with a huge selection of DVDs to pick from. The rooms were a good size giving each person enough... More

We stayed here half way through March and were pleasantly surprised by the hostel itself, it is clean and well looked after. The kitchen is practical and the rooms are nice and airy. The management however is so rude and unhelpful. On two occasions we felt personally victimized by the owner of the hostel who has no respect for his... More

Rudest hostel we stayed at in 6 months of backpacking! Make sure you email them directly to confirm, and even then keep your fingers crossed they don't leave you without a bed for the night. We arrived into 1770 late as our bus had broken down, where we where met with the news that Cool Bananas had "lost" our booking,... More

As the northernmost surf beach on Australia's east coast, Agnes Water provides a nice little wave as it lies just below the Great Barrier Reef, allowing swell to reach this cool, laid-back little town. What makes Agnes Water even cooler, is Cool Bananas! We stayed at Cool Bananas on a number of occasions, for a few days at a time.... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights before going on the Castaway trip. I found it wasn't very easy to meet people. The staff were not friendly, and there were alot of French hanging about playing loud French rap. It was pretty loud in the evenings when I was trying to sleep and people sitting around smoking weed.
