They had two German guys come down from Cairns because Scottys said they had work. When they turned up they told them there is no work for them. Didnt even get in contact to update.
Quiet during the day so great fot lounging. Crowd comes in late afternoon and gets busier in the evening. Peaceful again at night. Pleasant pool and very short stroll to beach. Market is 15 minute walk or take the shuttle. Not a party hostel but beer and wine are not unknown.
We found this little backpackers to be the perfect place to regroup, recharge the batteries and relax for two nights on our trip up North. Everything is clean and neat, including the camp kitchen. Manager was very friendly and gave us a great tip as to where to get a great coffee. Also, very helpful in organising our itinerary. Staff very friendly, and just a great little spot by the pool to just relax and while away the day.
Don't work for accommodation here! Decent wee hostel with good facilities. However, don't work here. My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week recently. The owner, a guy named Richard, had told us that in exchange for 2hours work 5 days a week, we could have free accommodation. Great! He also said that 'theres loads to do in Mission Beach, and plenty of work available!'Richard, unfortunately, seems to ration the truth. There's not lots to so in Mission Beach, in fact there's quite little to do beyond the skydive. Subsequently, there's not much work either. Richard wasn't exactly forthcoming about working for accommodation either. Some days work are 2-3 hours. Some days 4+. And on the extra special days, when you drive the bus, you can expect a working day which lasts from 9am - 7pm. Oh, and it's 6 work days, not 5. As I said, the hostel is decent, but it is a working hostel, which hosts 20 or so farm workers. The hostel is for them. They might have you believe that you too can work on the farm, if you're prepared to wait an undetermined amount of time. In short, the place isn't bad a for a few nights. If you're not working for pay, don't hang about.
