Just stayed the one night at Debbie’s place! It was perfect, wouldn’t have changed a thing. Close to everything rainbow has to offer. Debbie was extremely hospitable and had prepared the room very well, comfort is key!! Parking was excellent with a beautiful little outdoor area. Our stay was extremely peaceful and relaxing. Thanks so much Debbie!

Stay at Pippies + 3 Day Fraser Island Tour

Reviewed By KyleNickel

I stayed at the hostel the night before, as well as a 3 day Fraser Island tour. Pros: >Saw lots of the island >Excellent camp set up >Fun, easy-to-drive vehicles >Knowledgeable guide, who set us up to have lots of fun Cons: >Not much attention to safety - there were no sober people at camp at all (in a campsite with no cell coverage and only a central landline phone), and no plan was clearly communicated for first aid, overintoxication, etc, so not really prepared for an emergency >Extra food (mainly vegetables, but still) was just thrown into the bush by the campsite - seems unfortunate to come to a beautiful place and then contribute to the degradation of the ecosystem, and it doesn’t take an ecologist to realize that’s the wrong thing to do Overall, a good tour if you are really looking to party. Great staff and overall a satisfying tour. However, some pretty glaring shortcomings in safety in the camp (no designated sober first aiders or drivers, no plan communicated to people on the tour). Also unfortunate to improperly dispose of food on an island where the pristine nature is the main draw. Also, if you are staying in the hostel, insist on staying in the actual guesthouse - a huge difference in quality between the guesthouse and the extra dorm rooms tacked onto the place.

Amazing service, great location

Reviewed By Roseanne C

We came up here to stay late Jan 2022, as this time of year can become less busy. We HV stayed here for a few years now, and why we keep coming back, is because with 2 teenagers, the accommodation keep them busy. The pool enough for a cool down, internet, walking distance to shops. The rooms are always clean, plenty of room, and it's a great price for us of 6. Marianne the Manager is so amazing and will go out of her way for you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend!

Fabulous place to stay

Reviewed By keith_rowell_proper

We stayed two nights and enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful room with views over Rainbow Beach, a short walk into town. The room was a beautiful apartment with nice modern furniture and so much space. Space everywhere. Spacious room, spacious lounge room, kitchen, huge deck. Sitting in the spa bath looking out over the view was delightful. Undercover carpark and plenty of space for taller 4wd parking as well. The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. I can't wait to go back. Thanks Keith & Megan

AMAZING hostel experience!!

Reviewed By will_lloyd919

Best hostel experience ever!! Awesome location in Rainbow Beach and right next to the Greyhound bus stop which was so convenient! Stayed here for 3 nights with a group of friends and we did not want to leave! The rooms were a dream - always clean, air-con was perfect and en-suite bathroom was fantastic. The Fraser Island tour that ran out of the hostel was insane and considering I had already visited Fraser Island before, I could not have asked for a better experience. The hostel provided free breakfast that catered for everyone in the mornings and the staff were so efficient at getting us checked in. Thank you so much to Lettie, Auryn, Amanda and Simone for being so helpful and even coming for a drink with us after work, we had the best time!! The Dingos bar attached to the hostel had great deals on drinks and some super fun events on every night like bingo and trivia so there was never a dull moment, and the hammocks dotted around the place were a lovely treat after a few days camping on the beautiful Fraser Island. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!
