Description
Woolshed Backpackers has been rated by Lonely Planet travel guide as ""Our Pick"" for budget accommodation in Hervey Bay - the second edition in a row!
Clean, quiet, friendly, family run hostel. A unique escape from the hostel party circuit on one acre of tropical gardens, right in the centre of Hervey Bay and only five minutes walk to the beach, shops, supermarket, restaurants and pubs.
... moreRooms are spread over four different buildings, situated within a large garden, surrounded by ponds, tropical vegetation, palm trees and gum trees, hammocks and eating areas. The natural setting attracts a lot of wildlife - there is daily parrot feeding, possums drop in for a visit and Hervey Bay's famous fruit bats can be spotted seasonally as they fly in their thousands over the Woolshed on their way to Fraser Island.
If you like to meet the other guests, find new friends, have a drink and a chat, pop into their well equipped kitchen/common room. It resembles an Aussie Woolshed, is entirely built of wood and oozes character and atmosphere.
They also offer their guests independent advice based on local knowledge and experience for every Fraser and Lady Elliot Island tour from Hervey Bay.
