Pippies Beachhouse Backpackers

Had to have a freezing cold shower- there were signs up in the hostel to state that a choice had to be made between hot water and air con and they chose air con. There was hot water in another building, but the queues for the showers were huge. Having hot water in the next building is not helpful for washing hands/kitchen etc. Then had a knock on the door at 8:30am to say there would be no power from 9am. Unable to use plug sockets, kitchen facilities etc. Hot water and electricity are two basics I would expect when paying 100 dollars for 1 night stay. Hostel were extremely unhelpful when contacted about this.

I went on the tag along k’gari island tour and loved it! We had an amazing group, great food, great guide and beautiful views. We slept in tents and had a fire both nights. Lots of swimming, dingo spotting and beach driving. It was whale season so we also got to see whales swimming by. Incredible!

Basic room with a shared bathroom but we loved having the balcony overlooking the pool. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped and as there were two separate kitchens there was always space to cook. There are also coin operated washing facilities along with two big washing lines. We enjoyed our stay here as there was a very relaxed chilled atmosphere. The beach and shops etc are only a 5 minute walk away so a very good location!
