Guest Reviews
- Pauline (8/5): - Love this place and stay often....clean welcoming and friendly The pillows are so hard all 4 of them. Uncomfortable sleep. Maybe have 2 hard and 2 softer pillows.I should of come we to change them but I was lazy and very tired
- Dorottya (10/5): - This place is magical! From the moment you step in, you immediately feel like home. The facilities are comfortable and clean, the rooms outside come with a separate open air shower and they have their own organic garden with a basket full of free fruits each morning. I would have loved to stay longer and hope to be back someday!
- Kyle (10/5): Epic location and beautiful property - Staff are amazing here. A wee home away from home
- Brian (10/5): Excellent place, very clean, very friendly hosts - Everything
- Lise (10/5): -
- Shawn (9/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): - My favourite spot on the Tablelands
- Jacqueline (8/5): - The kitchen area and living room are spacious and have everything you need. The garden is great and nice to hang out. I don’t find a late check-in combined with an early check-out very balanced. I haven’t seen this anywhere else either.

- Lukas17 (7/5): - Schöne Anlage, sehr freundlicher Empfang und für ein Hostel okay Viele Backpackergruppen, sodass es abends laut werden kann. Bei genauerer Betrachtung Recht viel Dreck und Staub. Dusche wurde nicht warm. Tür im Obergeschoss musste die ganze Nacht offenbleiben, wodurch sehr viele Tiere ins Haus kamen.
- fiona (8/5): You must visit Yungaburra! - Lovely, airy bedrooms. Extremely clean open-air self-catering kitchen and seating areas. Help yourself garden. Hammocks. Yungaburra village is a total gem. Be aware that this is a backpackers hostel with bunk rooms as well as twins (we had one), although it describes itself as a lodge. Toilets and showers are downstairs. Large tour groups arrive for dinner, then go canoeing, returning around 9pm, when it gets busy and noisy. They leave early in the morning.

- Peter (10/5): Choice! -
- Marianne (8/5): - De hele eco Village! De late incheck van 4pm
- Bernadette (10/5): -
- Anna (7/5): - Cute accomodation, well located, beautiful backyard There is backpacker groups every night from tours they do, which makes the common areas pretty crowded.
- Julie (9/5): We will visit again, probably stay upstairs - Great location, very close to town. As we were staying downstairs, noise was audible from upstairs through the floorboards.
- Shannon (10/5): -
- dwayne (7/5): -
- Sylvia (10/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Would book again. Have already told friends and family. Really liked the gardens - So friendly and helpful. Close to town very clean
- machiko (8/5): 大きく期待を良いように裏切りました。 - バックパッカーの人たちも泊まる宿のような感じでしたが、22：30ごろには静かになり、翌朝も少し足音が聞こえただけで7：00ごろには出発していったようでした。 相対的に、清潔、整頓されていてとても居心地がよかったです。 やはり、お手洗いとシャワーが共同だったのが、少し辛かったです。
- leila (8/5): -
- Theresa (10/5): Great location, beautiful spot - Great location; super convenient. It’s a really nice spot too, interesting and has natural beauty and charm. Exceeds expectations
- Isabelle (9/5): -
- Laureen (10/5): - Owner was really nice and attentive
- Cory (10/5): - The eco friendly facilities are incredible. The additional privacy of a private room at a shared hotel allowed for mingling and making friends but also a quiet place for rest. 10/10
- Nick (10/5): Great spot in a great town. Staff were lovely and the amenities were terrific :) -
- Jolinda (10/5): - Super cosy, welcoming environment. Check in was super easy. Lots of lovely little decoration details to look for. Definitely keen to come back
- Laura (10/5): -
- Tracey (8/5): - Beautiful homely feeling and thoughtful extras within the facility.
- Claudine (8/5): A convenient stop well equipped - A ver clean place. All well organized and convenient. No soap in the shower but this is not a drama
- Sandy (10/5): -
- Lara (10/5): Hostel mit Herz - Ein sehr schönes Hostel, viele liebevolle Details in der Ausstattung. Es gibt Gemüse und Kräuter aus dem Garten, großzügige Gemeinschaftsräume und einen überdachten Sitzplatz im Garten. Parken an der Straße möglich, Waschmaschine und Küche vorhanden. Zu Fuß ist man gleich im Ort und am Bach (Schnabeltiere beobachten). Ich hatte das Glück ein Mehrbettzimmer für mich alleine zu haben - wenn viele Betten belegt wären, dann wäre ein Regal / Schrank toll um seine Sachen verstauen zu können.
- Rafael (10/5): Good affordable option in the crater lakes area - Super beautiful this accommodation and people that run these they explain everything super clear. Everything was good.
- Andricola (5/5): Nett, aber Backpacker-Ort für junge Leute - Unter Bereich sehr nett, Personal super lieb. Eher eine rudimentäre Unterkunft für 18-jährige Gap year kids, die hier schwarzenweise mit Bussen heran gefahren werden. Eher weniger geeignet wenn man älter ist und Rückenschmerzen hat - die Betten waren der Horror und ich hab in der Nacht nicht geschlafen weil es so unbequem war 😬 auch der Ort selbst hat wenig zu bieten - hat sich also nicht gelohnt und wir sind nach der ersten Nacht abgereist.

- Lena (9/5): - De douche in openlucht was zo genieten. De omgeving was prachtig. Kookbenodigheden ter beschikking. Alles proper. Kamer kon niet goed verduisterd worden.
- Charlie (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Luke Núñez (9/5): Cozy - La ubicacion, el pueblo es encantador, la habitacion muy cozy, el diseño de la propiedad muy acogedor. El opersonal muy amable. Coincidimos con un grupo de 30 si que hubo un poco de ruido y alboroto. Los baños estan detras de la cocina, sin puerta entremedio, cosa un poco rara e incomoda a la hora de ducharse con 30 personas cenando.

- Mitchell (10/5): Beautiful low cost lodge with incredible facilities - Everything from the moment we walked in to the beautiful lodge. Staff were soo lovely and helpful the lodge is just beautiful with all facilities you would need for a hostel type accomadation. The rooms and beds were basic but comfy. Clean lovely wash room facilities just everything was lovely and location is perfect. That I only stayed for one night
- Thomas (9/5): Schöner Backpacker - Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und die Ausstattung hervorragend. Eine komplette Küche mit allem was dazu gehört war vorhanden. Top Nichts
- Toon (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Ron (10/5): I had a relaxing and quiet time, especially in the garden. - Location very good. -
- Astrid (9/5): - Staff and management were great and very helpful. Very nice garden and facilities. Loved the sunbird livibg in the outdoor shower - which was great by the way. Very small room and for that a little overpriced.
- Dennis (10/5): - Veel faciliteiten. Erg schoon. Vriendelijk personeel. Leuke kleine cabines om in te slapen. Airco koelt prima, maakt wel wat herrie.
- Jane (10/5): - We stayed in a pet friendly, very pretty and comfortable budget room. Thoughtfully appointed with clean and modern shared facilities including a fab kitchen, dining area and outdoor garden and chill out space. Towels, good shared bathrooms and a lovely ethos. Walking distance to everything of note in Yungaburra and a great jumping off point for tours. Recommend bringing your own pillow but basically this place is a 10 out of 10 for the hosts, accommodation, setting and vibe. 'Tis very good!!
- lynette (9/5): Lovely place would stay again - The room was warm. No fan or a/c
- Polina (10/5): -
- Babsi (10/5): -
- Bettina (8/5): - Ein sehr schönes Hostel mit gemütlichen Cabins. Es war leider eine sehr kühle Nacht und in den Cabins war es kalt.
- Malena (10/5): Feels like home! - We love this place and have been coming back since our first visit five years ago. It may be a hostel, but the love and care put into the common areas make it feel so much more than that. There’s a special atmosphere here that keeps us wanting to return every time. 💛 Like everything
- muriel (8/5): Lodge très sympa si vous avez l esprit routard - L ambiance zen et décontractée, les hamacs dans le jardin, la machine à laver et les pinces à linge Le parking facile, la situation géographique top La gentillesse des 2 réceptionnistes ..merci mesdames... La cabane vraiment petite... on a du laisser les valises dehors .. 😃
- Shaylee (10/5): - I love this property, every time I do a trip to yungaburra I stay here. It’s a beautiful neat little place and the staff and so amazing and accommodating! Absolutely fantastic The pillowed were very hard which made the sleep uncomfortable haha
- Rebekah (8/5): -
- Norman (9/5): Schönes Hostel zum günstigen Preis - Die Unterkunft ist schön eingerichtet. Raucherecke, genügend Duschen und Toiletten waren vorhanden, sehr preiswert Ein paar Handtücher wären schön gewesen. Es gab keinen Schlüssel für das Zimmer. Eine Nachricht mit Instruktionen oder den Ablageort der Karte mit den Instruktionen vorab wäre schön gewesen. Ich habe diese nicht gleich gefunden und telefonisch keinen erreicht.
- James (10/5): Beautiful lodge in a lovely town - Lovely eco lodge with great facilities, lovely showers and common areas! Yungaburra is a lovely town and we really enjoyed our stay, so much to see and do in the town and surrounding areas!

- Marta (9/5): -
- Jannike (10/5): -
- Carina (10/5): - Gezellig, lieve meiden, heerlijk gegeten, fantastisch ingericht. Bed was niet heel fijn en kraakte echt heel erg maar de rest was zo tof dat dit erbij in t niet viel.
- Sang Wooi (10/5): - The room was beautifully done up and clean. The amenities including the kitchen in the lodge was sufficient to cater the large crowd. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lakes at the national park were amazing. We enjoyed the walk around the lakes although we did not sight many birds.

- Shaw (2/5): - Even though I believed I booked with cancellation policy. Between Expedia and On The Wallaby refused to refund my booking. This is after a major vehicle accident and my wife calling up asking for cancellation with compassion
- Marina (10/5): - Very friendly staff, clean room and toilet/shower. Wel enquipped kitchen. Parking on dirt road across the street. Rooms are noisy and there were tours arriving on the days I was there, they were very loud in the early morning at 6:30.

- Ivy (8/5): Very welcoming - Good location on walking distance of town. Very homely and cosy styled and decorated. Lots of places to hang out and relax. Dog friendly. Free fruit and some veggies available and tea and coffee in kitchen. The walls are just timber and sound travels in from other rooms, but they have a quiet time from 10pm. Very good value for budget rooms, can't complain..
