The hostel was nice enough it had everything you needed, but was weird having the owners interact with you . There is no aircon in the rooms which is the only reason I would not return as it was very very hot in the rooms so struggled to sleep at all. If they did install aircon though would stay again though

This was the highlight of my whole East Coast. What a little gem! Everyone working in this hostel made me feel super welcomed and at home. It's the best and easiest place to surf without crowds, not to mention you can also fly a plane yourself and go on a speed boat from there!! Best and only sunset viewing point on the East Coast too!

Such a great Hostel! Well priced for the facilities and activities, and only a 5-10 minute walk from the beach! The bathrooms and kitchen were cleaned regularly, and the common areas were really nice. The staff were really friendly and easy to talk to. Had a great time here, would definitely stay again!

Cool Bananas was my favourite hostel of the entire East Coast. So much so that I decided to come back for a week. There is just this homely feel to this hostel where you can chill out or be as social as you want to be. The activities we did there made it an unforgettable few days. If I were to go back to Australia, I would definitely visit Cool Bananas again. P.S. Loved the staff as well :)

I really liked this hostel. Friendly and helpful staff, it's clean, big kitchen and has a big outside area with bbq, hammocks and picknic tables. The beach, shops and coffee is within walking distance. And the hostel offers bicycle rental so you can explore the area. Or book a surf lesson or rent a surfboard because Agnes Water is a great place to learn to surf.

Had a short stay at cool bananas, but it's such a nice hostel! You will immediately be warmly welcomed by the staff in banana suits at the bus station. You don't have to drag your bag around, because they will take it for you. The hostel itself looks super cozy! The straff was very nice and friendly. there’s a cozy campfire in the evening as well! And don’t forget to book your surf lesson! Highly recommended! I could’ve stayed there for monthssss🍌

Unfriendly staff, no interactivity with guests and made me feel super uncomfortable. Had to make our own beds, kitchen and bathroom closed over lunchtime so not ideal Wifi doesn’t work No encouragement for social activities only if you are travelling with a group Nowhere quiet to sit, bathrooms grubby and tacky rooms

Super relaxing & friendly Hostel! Got picked up off the bus by a bunch of bananas who were very welcoming. Staff were fantastic and super helpful. It was pretty clean and shared spaces were cleaned regularly. It is quite a quiet area but it close to shops and the beach. They have bikes you can hire so would recommend hiring one and exploring! Would recommend if you want a few chilled beach/ surf days and a friendly quiet hostel.
