John Brewer Reef Holidays from AU$930

Great location easy walking to most thingß. Only thing missing was a lift.

The view was brilliant. Lovely big balcony. The pillows were hard and lumpy. 2 spare blankets would have been more comfortable. Unit was I felt poorly stocked with only one very large frying pan. No salt and one very small soap. There was aliquid soap but for 2 adults staying 5 nights it was not enough. Otherwise a greatspot to stay. Thank you.

The hostel is great compared to many. We stayed in a private room, as two couples. We were woken at 6am every morning by staff blasting music at the connecting koala sanctuary. We complained the first day to staff and the very same thing happened the next day, we were offered breakfast and drink vouchers which was appreciated, however a 6am wake up call on the weekend by staff really was a major disappointment. The room had a problem with ants, and there was a big gap at the top of our door which let in lots of insects. A few touch ups and the room itself would’ve been great. The food and drinks were great. And a great location.

The property manager Sonia was brilliant. She made contact with us ensuring we knew about hours and our accommodation. We had no car, and were able to leave our bags until our room was available due to our early arrival and was equally accommodating on having to leave. Our unit was within walking distance to many things - Castle Hill, Magnetic Island Ferry, museums and restaurants.
