Agnes Water Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Well last night was supposed to be my last night at Cool Bananas but things went a little differently to planned. Was going to take it easy on the beers but Greg decided to have a legendary Dahu night and things got a little crazy; 3 bottles of Bundy, 6 bottles of Champagne, a bottle of Malibu and some pineapple juice in a soup pot. It tastes lo...

So Jenny and John live in Boyne Island and we met them when they were having their Kombi re-painted (prior to ours) at the same "place" we had ours done at. Ever since then we have stayed in touch.

We knew that they had a shack in the area that they regularly visited (it's an hour and half away from Boyne) and we hoped we'd catch up with...

Today we checked out of our room and checked into a separate day room where we left our bags and could grab a shower after the beach as we weren't catching the bus til after 9pm. After this we headed into town to get some breakfast and I wanted to hire a board for a few more hours practice. So after a belly full of scrambled eggs we headed to th...

Just a quick update today to say that we've arrived safely in Agnes Waters or commonly known as 1770. This is because some bloke called Lieutenant James Cook landed here in funnily enough 1770. We arrived under the cover of darkness so can't really comment on the town yet but the hostel seems really nice. The drive in was uneventful which is gre...

I got bored in Hervey Bay pretty quickly after the whale adventure had ended, and soon it was time to board the Greyhound again for a 3 hour trip up the coast to Agnes Water, aka 1770. It doesn’t take much to work out where they got the name for this place. It was discovered by Captain Cook in, keep up, 1770 (and yes I am aware he wasnR...

Well after another trip on the bus i arrived at 1770 or Agnes Water in the evening and found the greatest nicest and cleanest hostel i have ever stayed in! Unbelievable! In a good way.  Anyway that evening a few people that were in my room and me made dinner and hung out in the tropical gardens of the hostel and had some beer. Next morning, i wa...

According to Frommer's, the city of Bundaberg is the gate to the most southern point of the Great Barrier Reef, where one can see some of the most unspoiled and beautiful coral on the reef. So it is that we have reached Bundaberg with very high hopes after another eight-hour drive, only to be very disappointed by what we learned at the town's in...

We had 3 days in Agnes water and the Town of 1770. When we first arrived we thought what the hell as there didn't seem to be hardily anything around, but when we had a proper look its was a really nice place and we could have stayed here alot longer. The hostel was the best place we have stayed so far, wooden cabins in bush settling, and really ...

The journey from Mackay to Agnes Water was extremely long. We left Mackay at 2.30 am and arrived in Agnes Water approximately 10 hours later. Miraculously, despite the ridiculous amounts of legroom on the coaches, I managed to sleep for about 9 hours and 45 minutes of the journey. The outstanding 15 minutes where I was awake though were unbearab...
