Adventure Backpackers Gold Coast
Live like a king on the budget of a monkey – get stuck into the best the Gold Coast has to offer then rest your head on a soft pillow to the sound of the waves and dream…

When we travel, we all need a little space to call our own; a safe place to retreat, regroup and rest from the rigours of life on the road and the Coast offers something for everyone, from budget-conscious dorms to more luxurious single and double accommodation, with most backpacker hostels located within five kilometres of the beating heart of Surfers Paradise.

If you’re arriving in town by bus, most of the hostels have mini-buses with friendly, in-the-know drivers that will pick you up from the Surfers Paradise Transit Centre and take you straight to sanctuary in the form of a shower, a feed, and a good night’s sleep.

For the more adventurous, wander straight into town and hook into the wealth of nightlife or plan and book the next day’s activities at the travel desk of your hostel. Other options include farmstay experiences, pub accommodation at many of the lush, green mountain villages, or for the sports minded, stay and train at the Gold Coast international sport centre.
