Brisbane Quarters is clearly part of the new generation of youth hostels, far removed from the clichés attached to this type of accommodation. We're more in the "boutique-hotel" category, with a trendy, well-cared-for décor that's a real eye-catcher from the moment you arrive at reception. Although the dormitories are fairly classic, a great deal of attention has been paid to the communal areas, with swimming pool, gym, beautiful kitchen, laundry, etc. The free breakfast served in the morning from 8 to 10 a.m. is simple, but a good way to start the day.

The dormitories are beautifully decorated, as are the common areas, and everything is very clean. The establishment has been masterfully run for many years by a charming couple, Gabe and Kathy. Excursions are also available for sale.

A charming address we love on Magnetic Island. Debbie, the owner, welcomes you to one of her 4 rooms, in her beautiful house just a 5-minute walk from Horseshoe Bay beach.

The swimming pool is at the bottom of the garden, well sheltered!

This concept "Style" does not lack any assets for the family on the holiday road. In fact, there are cheap benefits for one night in a chain whose charm is not necessarily the first asset. The first good point: Excellent bed linen. Second: Children are welcome (family suites for 4 people, adapted breakfast, kid's corner to play…). Finally, the decoration, which is refined, but colorful, although not very personalized, has the merit of being pleasant in the eye. All rooms have en suite bathrooms, TV and free Wi-Fi. There is also the presence of storage in the rooms and the commendable commitment of Ibis to the protection of the environment.
