Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I loved the shuttle bus service the hostel offered. Meaning when you got off the greyhound bus, a friendly staff member was there waiting for you to take you to the hostel. Also they took you back to the greyhound bus stop and they offered service driving to the junction (shopping area) and the beach. The hostel offer a free breakfast. A lovely relaxed feel and nice vibe throughout. It felt like a home from home experience. The staff were all happy to help and did their job with a smile.

    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!

    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 :)

    Without a doubt the best hostel we have stayed at in Australia. Clean beyond belief. Two pillows on the bed. Plenty of fridge space and equipment in the kitchen. The free breakfast was just a treat. Events were held each night including free sausage sizzle, wine and cheese night and nachos and sangria. Cannot fault this place. Thank you to all the staff for being so friendly and welcoming. Recommend this hostel to anyone and everyone!
