We stayed here for 2 nights, either side of our tourof Fraser Island and both thought the hostel was the bes we had stayed in over our months holiday in Oz! On arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome and everything was explained and showed to us etc. We were very pleasantly surprised straight off as the photos dont do the place jusitce. The whole place is is perfect condition, all brand new and with loads of room, excellent cooking facilities, so clean, amaxing big comfy couches to lounge on, cinema, and excellent wireless. The out door area is awesome with loads of decking, cool chairs hanging from the roof and the most gorgeous pool and gardens to lay out in! We stayed ina double room which was like a hotel room.. all brand new ikea furniture with the comfiest bed.. the hostel had anice felign to it during the day and evening but was very quiet at night which was excellent as we were up early for our trip! I would reccomend this hostel to everyone and anyone looking for soemwhere in hervery bay.. the location is also excellent and the free breakfast is an added bonus as the prices are very reasonable! Stay here if in Hervery Bay!!!

This is by far one of the best hostels ive been to. It is run by a vey nice couple who are so welcoming and will help you out with anything. Rooms are standard. But common area is great. Nice big and clean kitchen. Great patio with a pool. Very comfortable living area. If i ever came back to hevey bay, id stay here without question. Very helpful with booking tours and buses as well. Very friendly and amazing people! Highly reccomend!

This hostel was the best hostel I've stayed during my whole trip. Free very good breakfast (toast, cereals, tee, coffee), free wifi, pool etc etc.
The staff was very friendly and they really care about you and do everything to make your stay as nice as possible. They really love their job.
We stayed two nights in two different rooms. The first one $25 was okay but nothing special. The second one was renovated for $28 and it's really worth it to spend $3 more. Huge shower, nice beds, 2 pillows.. BUT no AC!
I strongly recommend that hostel - we had a great stay!

In 5 months of travel, we have not stayed anywhere so friendly, comfortable and impressive as Flashpackers! Bill and his wife Lynn go out of their way to make you feel at home and well looked after - thank you so much guys! Bill was really helpful and honest when it came to booking trips. The place itself is beautiful, we hardly left the hostel as it had everything we needed - gorgeous pool and outside decking area, amazingly clean and new communal kitchen and chill out area (really comfy, huge sofa area), great free wifi and cinema. Rooms with ensuite makes such a difference. The BBQ on Friday night was brilliant - such a good laugh! Didn't want to leave!

Flashpackers is not your ordinary hostel, the facilities and service are second to none and the team goes over and above to make sure your stay is comfortable.

Highlights were:

- Free high speed WiFi internet access
- Great cinema room with a good selection of films. (It's PC based so you can watch your own movies from USB Flash Drive too)
- Large and clean swimming pool
- Clean linen and towels provided
- Free Breakfast
- Small 4/6 Person dorms and private double rooms available.
- Massive seating area and large, well stocked kitchen.
- BBQ
- Free Bus Service

Fans are supplied in each room and although there is no A/C option at the moment, (apparently it's coming and the wiring is already done), you can always stand in the huge walk-in fridge!

If you're looking to do Fraser Island, then go with the tour from Dropbear Adventures who have a deal with Flashpackers which includes accommodation. Dropbear's tour is probably the best experience you can have on Fraser and run by two guys (Mark & John) who know the island completely, I saw a lot of other tours providing Cup Noodles for dinner, we had steak and seafood we caught ourselves!
