Very nice hostel to stay, amazing staff!!

stayed there 23 years ago still remember having a good time

Great location 5 mins from the beach. Great hostel with a fire pit, the layout is designed for everyone to interact. For a solo traveller like myself, I met so many people during my time at Cool bananas it was an amazing experience. The owner is very generous and provides free food on a regular basis with is a welcomed plus and makes for a home away from home. Rooms are basic but clean and have everything you need. They also offer surf lessons, board and bike rentals, along with a scenic flight! I would 100% recommend to stop in Agnes (which is in itself a great find, the town and area is absolutely beautiful to explore) and stay at Cool bananas. I will gladly return 🙂

Hostel was clean, and comfy. Staff and fellow travellers all friendly. Great vibe and very social. Easy walkable to town and to beaches

The place is a perfect location, the staff running the hostel are wonderful people and the vibes were immaculate. The kitchen has food facilities.The bunk rooms have charging points but they are not next to the bedThere are regular activities here and it is a 5/10 minute walk from the beach.I drew over faces for privacy as I don’t have permission from anyone in the photo to post but every time they collect new guests from the greyhound drop off they dress as bananas. It’s pretty funny. As a guest you can join in too if you’d like.

What an amazing place full of lovely people! I had such a great time here, wish I could have stayed longer. This hostel is probably the most social one I’ve been to in Australia, which I as a solo traveller really appreciate. Every single person there was super kind and warm hearted. I immediately got a bunch of new friends, we sat together and played card games, everyone felt directly included. The vibe there is just outstanding 🥰 The rooms and common areas are simple, but very clean and in the kitchen you find everything you could need for cooking. There are also a lot of group activities like bonfire at the beach and when the next greyhound arrives, almost the whole hostel walked to the station to welcome the new guests. And, one of the best things I ever did – you can take a private scenic flight with Lorenzo, where you even get to control an airplane by yourself 🤫 Don’t miss this place! And plan a little bit more time here, that’s just paradise ❤️
