After multiple stays, it gets better each time. It's a very welcoming and home-like atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the rooms are nice and the location is really convenient. The amenities are great too and it very nice to meet fellow travellers.

We are two French backpackers who stayed at the hotel from 19/03/2025 to 22/03/2025. The check-in went very smoothly, and the two girls at the reception were attentive and available throughout our stay. The place is quite small, with around twenty guests, which makes it both quiet and friendly. Moreover, Veronica kindly left a note on our door to let us know that one of her friends could offer us a job for the day. The check-out also went very well, and we were advised to visit the market, just a two-minute walk from the hotel, which takes place every Saturday. We highly recommend this hotel with our eyes closed!

Jeanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely place to stay. I stayed in one of the private “go rooms”, which was like a private room made from a trailer on wheels. It was surprisingly cozy! I liked how there were sufficient share facilities and a large kitchen/dining area. The place was centrally located in town, making it easy to walk down to the park to go look for platypus. I’d recommend it.

Susanne, 2-night trip

Really friendly staff, great feel to the place. Only sub standard was the bed was very creaky and you woke your partner when rolling over or moving
Alastair, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really nice hostel in Yungaburra, and the night canoe was a fun experience. I’m only docking a star because our Expedia reservation that we paid in advance was nowhere in their system, and we only got a room (that we booked months beforehand) because there happened to be availability. This worked out fine for us in the end, but the hotel needs to work this out to avoid issues in future. Expedia also says the check in time is 4pm when it’s actually 2pm, so there is some disconnect here. Other than that, we’d stay here again!

On The Wallaby is absolutely fantastic! Maree is an absolutely gem and she goes above and beyond for all the guests. Mum and I decided to spend another night and Tracey moved everything around so that could be possible and we could stay in the same room. Mum was super stoked on that! The lodge is beautiful and super clean. What I loved the most was their dedication to being green. They're doing it all right. My mum has never done hostels before and she loved it there. It was her favorite of the entire trip, and that says a lot! Thanks again to the entire team for everything.
