Reviews
I had an amazing stay at Cool Bananas. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was super relaxed and welcoming. The boss Scott was very friendly and so was his dog. It was a clean, very social and well organised place. It’s close to the beach and shops and the perfect getaway out of the bigger cities. Also a good place to go surfing. (I did the introduction surf lesson that you can book at the reception and it didn’t dissapoint). Don’t miss out on this hidden gem when you’re travelling the east coast of Australia. I’d definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone. Take that detour and visit Cool Bananas in Agnes Water!
Cool Bananas Backpackers in Agnes Water was easily one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was super welcoming and relaxed exactly what you want when you’re travelling.Scott, who runs the place, absolutely makes the experience. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels included, and he creates a genuinely social vibe without it ever feeling forced. It’s the kind of place where it’s easy to meet people, and I ended up making some great mates during my stay.
Bij binnenkomst zijn de hosts meteen heel vriendelijk en vertellen ze je graag over de omgeving, wat je kan doen en waar je evt lekker wat kunt eten of drinken. Alles is super schoon en wordt dagelijks ook heel goed bijgehouden. De keuken is groot en een goede koude koelkast. Je kan er op heel veel plekken lekker zitten en genieten van de muziek de elke dag lekker aan staat. Toen ik er was, was het aardig rustig, maar dat nam de gezelligheid niet weg. Iedereen die er zit komt er graag werken, chillen of is op doorreis geweest en weer teruggekomen. Ik vind het zeker een aanrader om hier te stoppen. Het is een klein maar niet te toeristisch dorpje en ik vond het zelfs jammer dat ik er maar 2 dagen was. Had liever langer willen blijven. Als je van kleinschalige, gezellige en schoonheid houdt, dan moet je hierheen aan de oostkust. De zonsondergang bij town 1770 en barefoot jeu de boule op de vrijdag is een perfecte combi! Bedankt voor alles team Cool Bananas
Have stayed here a few times a really welcoming spot, lots to offer. The kitchen is always clean. Really recommend stopping by:)
Independently run to perfection! Pristine cleanliness, friendly staff and good beachside vibes.Other hostel managers need to come stay here for a lesson in how run a hostel and how to use a mop! So nice to sleep and eat not breathing in dirt or mould like 80% of backpackers are filled with.All the others in town looked terrible or like unerground dungeons so definitely Cool Bananas is the place to stop in at Agnes! I extended my booking as it was a nice place to chill out and good social atmosphere by the fire!Great gateway to the Southern Reef of Lady Musgrave for snorkeling. Amazing marine life and clear Turquoise water. Turtle heaven! 🐢Thank- you Scotty and Chilli.
Amazing hostel. You get picked up by dancing bananas and the vibes are chill. The common areas are always open if I’m not mistaken. Also the kitchen doesn’t close except for two times of cleaning a day. Highly recommend!
