Hostel is rough and ready! It prepares you for camping on Fraser! Receptionists are friendly and double up as hostesses, waitresses you name it! Rooms are spacious and are basic. The kitchen is terrible don't bother with it, their 6dollar meals are great value. Bathroom was clean. Pool area is basic. The fun really starts in the evenings. We played... More

I stayed here before and after my Fraser Island trip (which was great!) and was so glad I did. The staff are so welcoming and love anyone who gets involved. There's lots of people there, but most go to bed early to either prepare for or recover from their Fraser trip. But those that stay up know how to have... More

Stayed here after having spent 2 nights at Pippies next door and MUCH preferred it here! Staff all really friendly, good communal areas both around the bar and on the deck with sofas/hammocks, rooms spacious enough and with air con at night. Bathrooms got a little messy but they always will in a 7 bed dorm and they were cleaned... More

We stayed here for a night before going to Fraser Island and then a couple of nights afterwards. It was nice enough, the staff we're friendly, there's a Peterpan's attached (which makes life easy when arranging further travels and means you can use the free wifi and computers) and obviously it's very handy for departing for the Fraser trip. However... More

I ended up staying 5 nights in Dingo's before moving next door to Fraser on Rainbow before my Fraser Island trip, and there really isnt a lot to do in the area. However the hostel was reasonably priced, and there was live music at night which was great!! Kitchen was tiny though, so not great for cooking!! They do $6... More

Not enough pots and pans, only one toaster, not enough forks and knives, no bowls. You only get one cup, one big plate and one deep plate when... More

Dingos was our base for before and after the Fraser Island trip and provided us with a comfortable stay. We were lucky to have a couple of great room-mates which always makes a hostel seem better than perhaps it is. The pro's of Dingos is that it has a bar which is open pretty late, complete with pool table and... More

Me and a friend booked this as part of a package deal offered by Peterpans travel agents for our Fraser Island tour. The hostel itself is nothing special, I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, it didn't have lockers but u could leave electronics with reception for when u head to Fraser Island. The shower in the dorm was not...

We were given 3 night to stay at dingos as part of our Fraser Island package sold to us by peterpans. Dingo's is pretty much a peterpans hostels and has a sale shop on the front of it. The hostel itself was very average and had a real sense that it was purely used for a night to stay before... More

So me and a friend were supposed to travel with Dingo's Backpackers to Fraser, but due to an unfortunate mix up with our travel agent we were sent to Cool Dingos (which turned out to be an amazing trip). We spoke to everyone who went on the Fraser tour with Dingo's when we got back and they said they LOVED... More
