Brilliant fun, friendly staff, far enough from the city for a bit of quiet, yet close enough for a good night out. Great value for money with BBQ nights and free sailing……Anonymous England Male 18-24 09 Oct 2010

We really enjoyed our stay! The staff is nice and very helpful!// The big Swedish family!=)Sweden Mixed Group 25-30 15 Jul 2010

Staff were exceptional, really seemed to care about us travellers! Great bbq, pool night/activities to do here. Bit tricky to find from the station. follow the sea.

Dear Emma, I enjoyed the stay in your cosy hostel, with a really familiar atmosphere. The owners and the staff are very friendly and give you all the information you need to explore the surroundings. E.g. WAGS!! The pool-competition was real fun and I even made some points!! Thank you, Martina from Bavara

Hi Emma..Well…. Let me tell you what a lovely bunch of people you are! So easy going, flexible and understanding Thanks for all your support, suggestions and positive reassurance when needed. I personally will be back for a visit… We feel that we could really have a ball there and want to try a bit of sailing! We totally enjoyed our stay and it was a new experience for both the students and parents….Jayne

“manly harbour backpackers is the best hostel i was at. Because i was in 2 other hostels and these hostels aren’t so good as manly” Sven Kastrup

“hey yeahhh i will miss the amaaazing ozz and for sure the best backpacker in australia had a very great time with nice people and good hostel staff Felt like a family there so keep the things in memory forever…” Daniel Ficht

I was supposed to stay 3 days, go to Moreton Island, and go….I stayed more than 6 weeks and I\’m sad to leave this place. The staff is REALLY friendly, more than you can ever expect when you go in a hostel. There\’s not a lot of things to do in Manly itself but it\’s not far from the city. The most valuable activity in Manly is the free sailing session every wednesday..really nice experience, never the same boat because a lot of owners. Life was good here but I have to keep traveling!! France | Male 25-30

The owners are very good people, always ready to give an hand to the travelers. The hostel is an oasis compared to other hostels in Brissy city……Francesca Zolli

Without doubt, the nicest, cheapest and the place that most felt like home in all the hostels we’ve stayed at in Australia so far. Ok, you need to catch a train into Brisbane itself, but being on the harbour and just the location of the hostel makes up for a mere half an hour on the train. They also run the bistro next door, and offer money off on specials . . the food was amazing, and well worth it. the owners are very friendly and would without doubt do everything possible to ensure that your stay is great, as our was. go check it out…..Nia Evans

I really enjoyed my stay here. It\’s out of the city and away from the hussle and bustle which was exactly what I was looking for after getting fed up with the big city hostels. It was quiet and relaxed although there is a good bar/restaurant attached if you want a few drinks, as well as quite a rowdy bar across the road, if that\’s what you\’re after! The hostel needs a little modernising but the new owners are aware of that and they have plans. If they match the restaurant it should be great…..Iain, Scotland | Male 25-30

I stayed here for a couple of weeks as i am doing some work near Wynnum and i loved the Hostel. I like the fact that the place is not overflowing with tourists from the Uk and you don’t have people in your face all day long! I would think that you could not do better than this hostel!….Australia | Male 25-30

This hostel is good and warm. People living and working here are nice. There is one thing that guests shouldn’t miss, that is the Wed sailing. That would be the greatest experience to have in Brisbane.”…. Cheers, Christy
