Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really clean room, comfy beds and good shower. Loved the social events they hosted, made meeting new people easy. It was our favourite hostel in our east coast journey! They were so helpful in picking us up and dropping us to greyhound bus.

    Noosa Flashpackers has been the best Hostel I‘ve Stades in so far. Everything and especially the kitchen was really clean. The staff were amazing and although it’s kind of a little more pricey, you get free breakfast and a lot of activities. Met cool people here and would always come back!

    I loved this place. This place is literally the best hostel I have ever been to, and I have stayed in a lot of hostels. Jeremy and his entire team made my stay very enjoyable and fun. Very lovely team! There are social events for every day, free shuttle to the beach, free surfboards. Really good vibes, seriously. The rooms are great, the beds are comfortable and there were two pillows for each bed! (Those who travel a lot and stay in hostels will understand the value of it.) Cleanliness is top notch. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious.

    The hostel has chill vibes and everyone is welcome. You can enjoy your own time but always have the chance to hang out with people. It’s a quick walk to sunshine beach and has a shuttle to the main beach. It’s definitely the best hostel in noosa, for me in whole Australia :)

    The best hostel on the East Coast! I didn't ask my roommates for their Instagrams which made me sad but that's my fault. The rest was perfect!

    Great Backpacker Hostel with a good atmosphere, also thanks to the friendly, welcoming staff and daily social events. Rooms are good, and the kitchen is cleaned frequently which seems to motivate all the guests to clean their dishes properly too :) The hostel offers a regular free shuttle service to Noosa junction (greyhound, supermarkets) and to the main beach.
