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.

A great hostel in a lovely town
Had a good stay at On The Wallaby. It's a well established hostel in a quaint country town. Good kitchen facilities and our room was comfortable. Possibly the best shower in a hostel I've ever experienced. There's parking opposite the hostel on the grass outside. Be aware there's limited reception hours, so plan your arrival appropriately.

I've stayed @ on the Wallaby twice and will continue to do so when in the area again. It's a beautiful Queenslander. Odd to say, but I really like the bathroom area. Slate floor and walls mixed with timber and the added decor, it's a really cool area. The kitchen has just about every utensil, pot, pan etc you could need to prepare and cook all meals. The garden and communal areas are really comfortable to hang out in. Loved filling my drink/water bottles up each day from the magical water tap!

My husband and I are over 70 but we were treated with warmth and friendliness from the youngsters staying here. The facilities are exciting, innovative and immaculate and Monica is just lovely. She made sure we had everything we needed and as though that wasn’t enough, she whipped up a delicious batch of pumpkin scones. Just great

Great Eco Lodge
Perfect hostel for a budget backpacker in the Tablelands. The hostel is clean and very well laid out with a big shared kitchen. Book exchange as well as board games in the common room as well as free tea and coffee. Staff are friendly and always on hand. Highly recommend.

We had a double bed private room, although the hostel was very quiet during our stay with only a couple others staying in the shared rooms. The was very clean and provided everything we needed during our stay. Would recommend.

Family style hostel catering for older couples (us!), as well as various independant travellers and a bus load of young people at the same time. Our room was secure, private and clean, shared cooking and bathroom facilities as expected. We chose to join in the Aussie BBQ for dinner, reasonable value for money, but could easily have walked to one of several local eateries. The highlight for us was walking quietly along the stream at dusk as we had a good view of several platypus in the wild. We sort of viewed a tree kangaro - more as a brownish blob in the high trees. Had a much better view of the tree kangaroo at the Tea Planation the next day. We were impressed with the variety of activities and equipment on offer for the energetic. Definitely recommend On the Wallaby

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.

共用スペースもひろく、近くにスーパー(8：00〜20：00)もあり、便利です。ニックの店というレストランもあり、利用はしていませんが、人気があるようです。 エコロッジなので、電力はソーラーで80%まかなっているとのこと。また、若返りの水を地下からくみあげており、面白いですよ。ボートツアーなども1人3000円〜5000円程度でおこなっているようです。 カモノハシも近くのクリークで見られます。

Öko-Lodge mit gutem Komfort
Die Unterkunft liegt naturnah in Yurrabunga. Wir wurden von Ruby sehr herzlich empfangen und sie hat uns im Laufe des Abends sehr viele und hilfreiche Ausflugstipps gegeben. Abends wurde extra für uns ein gutes BBQ zubereitet (15$/Person). Gutes Frühstück (5$/Person). Super ausgestattete und saubere Gemeinschaftsküche, neues Gemeinschaftsbad. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Warmherzigkeit der Gastgeberin, wir durften frisches Quellwasser nutzen und Obst, z.B. Passionsfrüchte aus dem Garten probieren. Rund ums Haus kann man viele Tiere beobachten. Die Lodge bietet noch Ausflüge an.
