At the Wallaby Backpackers Lodge they create a special atmosphere with the open area on the ground floor where gas cooking facilities, a sink, cupboards, reception, chill-out-area, showers, toilets, and laundry. All of these things are very close together and seperated only by small walls. This place gives you a cosy feeling. It's tidy as well and you sleep good and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, with really all you need to cook your meal.
The reception offers many brochures of places and events in the Tablelands and even if you come along when it's closed they will help you. Extraordinary is the Platypus spotting they offer everyday on dusk and dawn for free. With a small bus you travel to a near waterhole where you can see them coming to the surface.
They also offer public phones, a weekly BBQ for $6, a camping ground, and a rafting tour (for a fee).
It's difficult to find aspects of this hostel to criticize. This is truely a nice place, even on rainy days.
