Overall Ratings & Reviews Jackaroo Treehouse Mission Beach - Hostel

Excellent, would recommend. Fresh food and drinks at the reception was a nice bonus

Quiet quaint little place, on the hippie side. Love it!!!

Nice property. Very short stay.

This Hostel was in an excellent location! It was very calming and relaxing, the jungle atmosphere suited us perfectly! The room was basic but comfortable. The staff were as friendly and welcoming as the wallabies who live on the property- you can feed them you know! There are also lizards and frogs to be seen. Fabulous!

Small property, great atmosphere, beautiful area, awesome host.

Quiet at night, rsa, great natural setting

Beautiful place. Peace and quiet.

Great atmosphere, lovely pool, terrific room for the price. Not too far from other amenities. I have only downgraded some of the questions as some things are shut because of covid. We loved it

Booked a comfort dorm with balcony- didn't get it. Breakfast was to be provided- didn't get it. Top bunks extremely squeaky, kept me up all night. Friendly staff. Clean rooms and kitchen.

Stayed in a private double room. The house was kept tidy and clean. WiFi was decent and I was able to complete Zoom calls without any interruption. I pretty much stayed in my room though (which also had a mini fridge). Although you can hear every footstep or suitcase being moved in the dorm room above. Definitely a young crowd, glad I only booked 1 night.

Friendly private & secluded feeling yet close to everything

This was just an average hostel, however it's location was not ideal at all. Far from Mission Beach and up in the middle of no where, half an hours walk to the nearest anything and then further if you actually want to go to a beach. Also so many bugs it was crazy!

Really cool jungle hostel, felt like being in the rainforest, friendly staff and great hostel bar.

I can't say enough good things about this hostel. The facilities were very clean and looking like brand new. The people were amazing. The receptionist Amir was very helpful and welcoming. All of the volunteers work hard and make you feel like family. I was able to join in a lovely yoga class. There is a free shuttle that takes you all over Mission Beach and the driver Steven is really nice. I feel like I got such a great value for the money I paid. While you're in the hostel you get this beautiful view of the rainforest. I was just so happy and relaxed the entire time. I am not even exaggerating when I say that overall this is the best hostel I've stayed in Australia.

Hostel is in a beautiful location and has good amenities plus it's own bar (and free welcome drink on arrival), It's comfortable and exactly what you would expect from a backpackers. Only major thing was the noise - rooms and the common room are on the same floor, so music playing most of the night and you can hear peoples conversations. I was there just as a stopover and to sleep really, so if you're there to socialise and party a bit it's definitely worth it.

Such a great place with the bonus of good staff, super clean and good vibes

Went to book in at 12.50pm, told to wait 15 minutes because of a door lock replacement and check in time isn't until 1.00pm. Then once we booked in, told to come back in an hour so the lock would be fixed. We went away for the hour, came back and we told we had been upgraded to a better room but the lock was still not fixed. Went to our room and the staff member fixed the lock, all good. Pool was supposed to close at 9.00pm but people were still screaming/laughing in the pool at midnight. Also around that time, we thought we had locked the sliding door but a male opened the door and shone a torch in!!!!! Scared the living daylights out of us. A lovely place with a nice vibe, but a horrid nights sleep for us. The guy who checked us out was off with the pixies. It would have been better if he was more professional even if it is classed as a backpackers.

My stay at this hostel was very good. Everything was good. Friendly staff and nice and clean room. You can also see few wallabies around the structure. The town is pretty far.

We stayed for just an evening. It's rather far from everything else. Bed adequate and fresh towels and linens were provided. Our double room had a refrigerator and a ceiling fan (no a/c or heat, but not needed then). Staff were very friendly. Bathroom facilities were clean and we had no wait. The view was tremendous. Also a nice pool and shared kitchen we didn't use. The Bingil Bay Cafe you will likely pass on the way in serves 5 star food and Gernan beer-- highly recommend for dinner.

Stayed one night and never again. People were in the kitchen cooking at 11.30pm making a lot of noise dropping pans, slamming cupboards and fridges even though kitchen closes at 10pm for safety reasons. Staff on the premises did nothing about the noise which resulted in a verbal confrontation. The room was small and the fan was broken making the room hot and stuffy. We here right next to pool filter which was noisy and ran all night resulting in a sleepless night. At 5.45am the noise started again with back packers using the kitchen again and dragging furniture around with the noise reverberating around the place. The Manager in the morning said sorry but ultimately he can't do anything about other people's behaviour. Why have rules if your not going to enforce them. Spend the extra money and stAy somewhere else. Very disappointing as place looked nice.
