We camped here for three nights. The staff are very friendly and every thing is clean. We felt very safe and comfortable here. A breath of fresh air if you've been staying at dodgy places. A really beautiful vibe too. :)

We originally booked 4 nights camping in a tent thinking this would be enough. However, we ended up returning to this hostel 3 times and staying a total of 3 and a bit weeks. We loved the atmosphere here, it was so relaxed and the staff were so friendly (espcially Laura who booked many trips for us). Loved chilling out... More

I stayed on tropic days one week and it was a really good time! Friendly staff, little dorms (3-4 share dorm max), free wifi, good and clean kitchen for only 27AUD per night! A little far away from the city, they drive you every hours to the town center! Thank for all! Cyril

Only had the opportunity to spend one evening here, but greatly enjoyed it. Pros: -- Quiet - I am a light sleeper and generally only dislike hostels because they tend to be noisy due to location or patronage. This was not at all the case with tropic days -- I slept like a baby. -- Friendly -- Check in staff... More

The best hostel I´ve been in Australia, and in many aspects the best hostel I've been so far. The only downside you have to consider before booking with them is the location. Apart from that, I think it's near perfection. Anyway they run a free shutte to the city center every two hours or so, and by walking it's around... More

Hey, my name is Adrien, and I just stayed at Tropic Days for about 1 month. During my stay I had the opportunity to try all of the five 4 bed share dormitories(26$/n), as well as the tents(16$/n) and the futons(16$/n). All of the dormitories are very clean (cleaned everyday). I would recommand dormitory n°8 which is the most quiet... More

We would definitely recommend this place, the staff and owners are all very helpful and friendly. It's clean, we can't really comment on the rooms because we camped, if you do camp, you still get to use all the amenities as the people who stay in the rooms, plus it's cheaper! The pizza night was great, as was the free... More

This hostel was more like a home. It was clean and friendly, the BBQ on Monday was hilarious (Digeridoo competition) and eccentric (Meal). The tour bookings were well organized and a nice break from doing everything ourselves. We were fond of Lara! (: Though the location is a bit of a pain, the free shuttles make up for it easily....

Very good hostel, definetly recommendable. Don't miss Monday night's BBQ as they are a lot of fun, and you can get to taste a bit of the real Aussie Barbie, with Kangaroo, Croc, Emu, Barramundi meats, sausages and planty of salads!! Plus some entertainment with comedy and a Didgeridoo contest. Simply great. Our room was very cleaned and the staff... More
