Cool Bananas Backpackers 1770!

When it comes to solo travelling a lot of people (including me a few months ago) assume that it is a lonely way to travel. Not once staying at Cool bananas have I felt lonely. The big social areas are great and in combination with a very open atmosphere it makes it a very social hostel. They offer affordable surf lessons with experienced instructors and the vibe of the hostel is very welcoming and open. I would recommend Cool bananas to anyone staying in Agnes water who’s looking for a home away from home!

This is by far my favorite hostel on the East coast. I past through Agnes Water just to relax a little on my east coast trip, but I liked it so much that I came back 2 months later. The Hostel has a very nice Location and a cool vibe. All the staff members are really friendly, therefore the atmosphere is really welcoming. Also,Scott the Owner, tries to make the hostel a Safe Space for everyone and wants everybody to have a good time. There are free activities basically everyday so the life in Agnes never gets boring. The hostel is super clean which also makes the stay even more enjoyable ( kitchen gets cleaned 3 times a day). I also highly recommend the surfschool that is connected to the hostel. The surf lessons are great and definitely cheaper than other Surf lessons along the coast. If you are in Agnes water and you want to have a good time, you should definitely Check out this hostel!!!

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The welcome was extremely warm. I would especially like to thank Caroline, who made our stay even better thanks to her joy of life, friendliness, and the positive energy she brings.

I’ve just spent the past month at this hostel and truly had the best time. The staff are welcoming, the owner is incredibly generous, and the guests create such a fun, friendly atmosphere. It’s only a quick walk to the beach, and the whole town has a relaxed, small-coastal vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a chilled-out getaway. If you’re a backpacker looking to unwind, meet great people, and enjoy a laid-back beach lifestyle, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! 🌞🏄‍♀️✨

Had the best time here, both the staff and the guests were really friendly and I immediately felt part of the community! Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Agnes!
