This was my first worldpackers in Australia, and an amazing start. The hours where as agreed, and tasks where easy and well structured. Good management and amazing volunteers. The hostel is close to the beach and a 10 minute bus ride into town. Would definitely recommend.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and the first place I landed in Australia so when I say I loved it, I LOVED it. I had the chance to meet so many amazing people through other volunteers and the guests. The cleaning is straight forward and someone is always around to ask questions. Facilitating activities was so fun and truly got to know the hostel so much more. It is walkable from the airport and just a stroll into town. I go to the beach daily and I'm so happy with all the wonderful people I've met here! Thank you Erin and Ebonie for making such a wonderful place to volunteer!

My first volunteering gig at the hostel Cooly was a total blast. Despite the hostel's slightly distant location and the journey from Surfers Paradise being quite long (over an hour by bus), the experience was amazing thanks to the awesome managers, Ebonie and Erin, who were both super cool and respectful of our hours. Shoutout to the fellow volunteers for forming a strong team. Most of my tasks were cleaning and housekeeping, which was straightforward but sometimes tiring. Ebonie and Erin, you made the hostel Cooly feel like a second home, and I'm eager to return for more!
