Had a good stay at On The Wallaby. It's a well established hostel in a quaint country town. Good kitchen facilities and our room was comfortable. Possibly the best shower in a hostel I've ever experienced. There's parking opposite the hostel on the grass outside. Be aware there's limited reception hours, so plan your arrival appropriately.

This lodge is super cute and just what we needed after camping in the rainforest for a few days. This place was super cosy, clean, friendly and had everything we needed (hot showers, stove stop and even free tea and coffee!). The vibe is super nice and the staff are so friendly . The outside area is so nice to relax in, with hammocks, big table to eat and even a fire in the evening which we sat around and drank goon. The only thing is that if you want to camp, you are kind if camping outside by the road which feels a bit exposed and is a little noisy. However we did not mind at all. Thanks for having us. Definitely recommend!

Could not speak higher of Sonia who went above and beyond to make my stay feel safe and homely. On the Wallaby feels more like a home than a hostel. One of the coolest hostels on the east coast. It’s also super forward thinking in terms of sustainability which is rare to find in accommodation. 10/10

What an awesome eco friendly hostel that Paul has created in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands! Certainly had a great stay ! Amazing waterfalls ! Lovely edible garden! LOVELY to commune with other fellow travelers in a cozy atmosphere yet quiet and peaceful for a good nights sleep. Jess is a fantastic asset to this hostel very friendly, welcoming, warmhearted, considerate and very thoughtful and responsible. Laura is great too and she makes great cookies! So grateful for a wonderful stay.

What an amazing weekend @On The Wallaby. We used it as a base for 40+ biking enthusiasts and took over for 2 nights. Paul was extremely accommodating with fantastic food to fill our empty bellies each night and an early brekkie Monday. Awesome.

Paul and staff made us feel welcome from the start, a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to return to after a day's sightseeing and adventuring, and the food was tasty and plentiful. I'll be back here next year for sure.
