Great backpackers hostel
I stayed in Larrikin Lodge for three days and it was really wonderful. This was mostly due to the fact that the hostel owner/manager was one of the nicest people I met during the whole trip, but also because the people staying in the hostel were very nice as well and it was just a pleasant atmosphere. Most of them were other solo travellers, but there were also some permanent residents, mostly men working in the sugar can fields, but they were all very nice people. It is not a party hostel, you rather hang around together in the evening watching TV, chatting and having a beer, but all in a rather calm atmosphere, which is why I really liked this place.
Bathrooms were clean, the kitchen and beds were all ok and most things were quite new and of good quality. The hostel has spacious outside areas where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine.
Moreover, the hostel works together with Jungle Johno Tours, so if you want to go to Eungella National Park, they can organise it for you and you also get a discount.
Unique Quality: Friendly atmosphere, great management

I really like this place. There were plenty of blankets you could just take if you needed it, lots of information on the local area, the hostel was full of very friendly locals and long termers. I like these kind of hostels, others don't, it's just a matter of opinion. I like the feeling you get when people know and work with each other, they cook and drink together and will always invite you along.
The down point? The bathrooms were a way from the bedrooms, you had to kind of go through the lounge to get to them.
AU£20 a night, I also booked a Platypus Spotting trip through this hostel and you get a discount for doing so.
There's a nice out/in doors sitting room a tv room at the end of the kitchen, good cooking facilities and huge fridges.
Oh, it's quite a walk from the coach stop too, but if you arrive within office hours you can be picked up, there's also plenty of free parking outside the hostel.
Unique Quality: Platypus spotting tours booked through the hostel.
