Hostels

8.1

Mission Beach Retreat

"Mission Beach Retreat has an excellent location, right in the centre of Mission Beach -- a small town in a rainforest area located about half way between Townsville and Cairns, in Queensland. From the hostel, you can walk to everything -- all shops, supermarket, restaurants and bars, and also the beach. The hostel offers a courtesy pick up at the bus station if required. Make sure to book in advance as the bus stop is a few miles away from... more »

Scotty's Beach House

"We absolutely loved staying here!! Our room was clean and the staff really took care of us. Everyone was beyond friendly and we had a great time out at the bar that is connected to the hostel. This place has a great atmosphere and really good-looking staff (at least when we were there), which is an added bonus!" … "Relaxed friendly atmosphere. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful with information on Mission Beach and for... more »

Absolute Backpackers

""A resort disguised as a hostel" -- this is Absolute Backpackers' tag line, and for the most part we found this to be true. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a laid back atmosphere to match the relaxing surroundings. The Location The hostel is located in Wongaling Beach (part of Mission Beach known as Middle Mission) -- about five kilometers from main Mission Beach, but it's a pleasant walk along the beach. Just five... more »

Jackaroo Hostel Mission Beach

"… is truly a slice of paradise set in the beautiful tropical rainforest of far North Queensland. This spacious island style treehouse, featuring lofty ceilings and a sundeck overlooking a stunning pool area with hammocks and sun lounges, make this the ideal stop off to relax, unwind and just get away from it all. The atmosphere is unmistakably friendly and laid back. You can venture out to the Great Barrier Reef, go skydiving,... more »

HI - Mission Beach Hostel - Treehouse YHA Hostel

Bingil Bay

"The Treehouse is a big house (you guessed it--made of wood), built right in the middle of the rainforest of Mission Beach. In fact, it's located a couple of kilometers north of the centre of the town. There is a bus going several times a day to and from the hostel to the town, but in the evening you'd better have something of your own to do since there is nothing going on here. This place has a great atmoshpere, and even just the rainforest... more »

Mission Beach Resort

"Mission Beach Resort is not a pure hostel, in the sense that it is a 4-star accommodation that also happens to offer dormatory-style rooms at backpacker prices ($19 per night). The ensuite rooms are beautiful and are equipped with a covered garage, air conditioning, a mini-fridge, a small television, and a patio. The pool is very scenic and there are lounge chairs and patio tables abound. A clean common use kitchen is available for use,... more »

Beach Shack

"Beach Shack was once a very large house and has been turned into a fully functional hostel, but still retains that homely feel. The decor is bright and inviting and the hostel is very clean. The Location The Beach Shack is located about ten minutes' drive from the bus dropoff point. It is a short walk from the main shop areas, bars, and cafes. It's a small, quiet town and it's very easy to find your way around. Rooms and Bathrooms... more »
