Stayed there one night as a pit stop just to meet a friend. The dorm was comfortable enough and reasonable at $24 each. They only have three bathrooms though, which isn't a lot for the amount of people staying there (I had to wait half hour for a shower) and the milk for the cereal on the free breakfast was... More

The staff are friendly and helpful - by accident we booked to stay on 24th April instead of 24th March and when we arrived on the 24th March the receptionist shuffled people around to make room for us. There is free breakfast - cereal and toast. Guests get 30mins of free internet at a shop on the main street that... More

No doubt this guest house has a lot of charm to it, no doubt you will have an absolute blast on the Fraser island tour and meet lots and lots of cool people. BUT I have to disagree a little bit with a lot of the brilliant reviews about the place. It is a bit like living in a house,... More

The guy at reception gave us the most friendliest welcome ever, he was so nice and helpful. I just stayed here two nights with a one day Fraser island tour. It was the atmosphere at the hostel that made it, and if i would have done the 3day 2night Fraser I would definitely do it with pippies. I was told... More

We have been travelling the east coast for nearly 2 months now and this is the best hostel we have stayed in. We booked a private double with shared facilities for 2 nights and we loved it. Our room was spacious, had a very comfy bed, plenty of storage and even had a shared balcony with a table and chairs.... More

Only had 2 nights in Rainbow Beach but loved it here. It is a lovely little hostel, nice rooms, lounge, peaceful, free breakfast! 2 kitchens, lots of bathrooms, nice people, free internet vouchers. Close to everything and perfect for Fraser Island tours. More

Having booked our trip with a tour company this hostel was part of the deal. A bit skeptical coming into it as it was part of a deal but we were pleasantly surprised. The girl at reception, Beth, was SUPER friendly. They had regular events nightly, a free bbq dinner every Wednesday night, FREE BREAKFAST (something Aussie hostels know nothing... More

Pippies is small but a nice little place. Not the cleanest but it was pretty decent. Nice little place to stay, had a good atmosphere. Right near rainbow beach. Beds weren't the comfiest but slept fine. Only disappointment was the air con being on a timer! Wasn't on in the day which was awful when it was hot. It only... More

Not for us. As my husband said at the time we were completely conned by Tribal Travel in Agnes Water. We went in to book a trip to Fraser Island, which we did with Fraser Explorer Tours & they were very good. Chap then said he could help with accommodation but I wanted to stay at Debbie's Place as I... More
