Lovely stay in the cabin! Fridge and AC in the room which was perfect! Events on each night if you want to get involved. Close to a bus stop and walking distance to the beach. Staff were all lovely and helpful. The bathrooms were fine for us but not particularly clean even after their daily clean. Slight downside was guests do not keep the communal kitchen clean and a lot of the gas hobs don’t work.
Would definitely recommend staying here in the cabins! I would not recommend staying in the glamping tent as they are currently being treated for mould.

The facilities were clean and tidy. Lovely staff and there was even a Koala in the tree just out side my hut. A very relaxing stay

This place has a lovely, chilled vibe. We heard a koala out the back of our tent around 5.30am (grunting quietly) so we got out slowly and watched it climb the tree and eat. Magical early morning moment!!. We stayed in a glamping tent - it was basic but had a proper bed, side tables, bean bag and lights. Loved it here, wanted to stay longer. Will be back.

Such a beautiful spot tucked inside nature.
The cabin we booked had some small issues which I presume came from wear and tear but at the price, they should be sorted. The bathroom and toilet doors were stiff and hard to manipulate. The AC/heater was so frustrating to operate. The fan switch didnt work properly. All that aside, this place was so convenient and cosy. The communal kitchen had all the amenities one would need. It was kept ckean and tidy. Having the var there where we could have a drink aftwr a long day of exploring waa perfect. And being able to just order a meal if too lazy to cook was added bonus. The place had the most relaxed vibe and you couldnt help but wallow in holiday mode

Had a fantastic stay in a glamping tent. Could have had more bedding as it was a little cool at night.
Facilities were great. Hired a car but there is a bus stop out the front. Great social area with pool table. Lots of wildlife around. Would stay there again.

We stayed in the family cabin with our 4 children. We all enjoyed our stay. The room had its own toilet and shower, a small fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Though the bed had sheets and pillows, there was no blankets so we were a little cold during the night.
The lounge area was popular with the kids, they loved the beanbags and hammocks.
The pool area was well equiped with bean bags, hammocks and plenty of shade from surrounding trees.
The bar was only staffed by one person on the Saturday night, so waiting for people to order food and drinks was lengthy. Bar staff also had to clear the floor from empty glasses and plates which also added to the wait.
Karaoke was a great!
The food was the biggest let down. And without sounding too harsh, it was pathetic what we got served.
My son order the hummus and pita, the tiniest pot of hummus was served, it was ridiculous. The pita tasted stale.
My salad was just some lettuce, small amount of cucumber and some chickpeas. A really crappy attempt for the price I paid.
The burgers we order were also burnt to a crisp and it appeared the beef patty had been split in 2 to make the 2 burgers.
The man working in the kitchen that night seemed like I was inconveniencing him by asking him dietary questions about the sauce, which he could not answer. Inconsistencies in the labelling on the menu left me confused. One item with garlic aioIi labelled vegetarian, another with garlic aioli labelled vegan?! Man working kitchen could not be certain.

Room was nice, location was great and desk staff were helpful but the place was really poorly run. The kitchen was tiny for the number of people, lots of things were faulty and was really poorly stocked with crockery. The bar had ran out of drink and the kitchen had ran out of food. Being on an island isn't really an excuse for that, it's only a 40 minute ferry ride to townsville. Some of our friends were in a room (a 4 person dorm on an old bus) which had no lock which was a little odd. In some cheaper hostels this might be fine, but people often pay a premium to stay in selinas

Private room not worth it as incredibly noisy. Not cleaned (including bins, towels) for whole stay.
Hostel grounds were nice (although cooking hard as no plates in kitchen and bin overflowing).
The atmosphere at the hostel was very nice and staff on reception were nice (but WhatsApp line doesn’t seem to work at all).
Pool nice and clean and general facilities in the hostel really nice. Great location.

Selina was great! We stayed in a family room. Nice clean room and very quiet. Staff members were all super friendly. Bus stop is right outside the property and property is walking distance to Horseshoe Bay. Live music during happy hour was great. Chill vibe and environment.

Loved staying at Selina, such great accommodation in a beautiful setting. Only negative was that wifi was only available around the reception area so I had none in my cabin
