This hostel is lovely! The staff are mostly the owners and their extended family and look after the place well. It's cleaned very well by backpackers who work for accommodation and do extra cleaning to keep themselves employed. Good value weekly rates on private en-suite rooms. Surf lessons are awesome and Shane's ten buck tour is so funny! Hoping to... More

Three nights glorious stay in this unspoilt & unsung corner of the Gold Coast! Friendly greeting by Shane & staff. Excellent accommodation & a coffee house on the ground floor ... Happy hour. Bar & good food!!! It's a shame to not get of the bus cause u will miss a hidden treasure. :-)) Check out my blog for pics....... More

Hostels in Australia can be a great way to find reasonable accommodation. Our family (two adults over 50 and two young adults) has travelled extensively and we have stayed in a wide variety of accommodations. This hostel may be one of the best values we have found and while we were only able to stay one night we could easily... More

Located in the main area of yamba and great location to the beaches and some nice walks . When we first checked in our room it hadn't been cleaned but... More

Arrived late one night and straight away everybody was so welcoming and friendly. A quiet hostel in a quiet town, the perfect place to relax or surf. There is a roof top pool but is more the size of a large hot tub, perfect for cooling off. Kitchen is massive and a nice lounge area to watch tv and films.... More

My friend and I were on holiday in Australia only for 3 weeks. We drove up the east coast from Sydney to Hervey Bay. We randomly picked Yamba on the map and found Yamba YHA so booked for 1 night. We fell in love with Yamba as soon as we arrived and also the hostel! We had booked a double... More

Very modern place, you can tell the owners spent a long time asking travellers in other hostels what they love/hate (you'll start noticing things taken from other places). Love the sockets above each locker, no fighting to charge your phone AND you can lock your valuables away whilst they charge. Also, the 8 bed dorm never felt like it had... More

we stayed at this hostel for 1 night as we drove from sydeny and were making our way to brsibane in a camper van. The rooms were nice, clean and tidy. Maybe that was because of the people who were staying in the hotel. The kitchen was nice and great reception area. Free parking plus point. The reception booked our... More
