Staying for one night in Gladstone, we just wanted a cheap, basic place to stay. Calling very last minute (on the way to Gladstone), the staff were very helpful and accommodating and happy to fit 9 of us in 2 separate rooms. Having stayed in a hostel right out of a horror movie before, I was pretty hesitant as to... More

Unfortunately we only stayed here one night, it was the best night we ever had and we would have liked to stayed there longer. We arrived by plane since the bus was cancelled due to the flooding and they picked us up in he nicest suv. It was the nicest owners with the most wonderful dog. We were on our... More

Was up in Gladstone a few weeks ago and as it was never going to be a luxury holiday, just wanted something cheap. The backpackers is definitely the cheapest place in gladstone you can stay. We had a double room and it was clean and pretty basic. No aircon but had 2 standup fans, one double and one single bed.... More

We got a room with a double bed and a single bed with two fans - sheets and towels were supplied. We did have to share two toilets and showers but these were very clean. The backpackers... More

Without hesitation, they said they... More

Fact: Hubby and I aren't your typical hostel customers--we're in our 40s and while we don't stay in five-star hotels, we do usually insist on en suite bathrooms. :) However, we were arriving in Gladstone too late to take the ferry/helicopter over to Heron Island and decided not to fork out a fortune for an 8-hour visit. We couldn't have... More

It's more a homestay than a hostel, with plenty of twin rooms to share with a person you know. The owners are super nice, helpful and friendly. The place has just been renovated, with all rooms been repainted, with new carpets and beds (and awesome numbers on the doors, each of unique design). Crispy white bedlinen, blankets, separate built-ins for... More
