Best hostel on my trip. The private twin was renovated and the bathroom was brand new. Beds are comfy and they provided coffee, tea, cookies, kettle and mugs. Lovely to have access to full kitchen. Close to the supermarket and Sunday bakery.

Wake Up! Byron Bay

Byron Bay

Resort vibes. Feel good energy. Before we dip into the dreamy details, let us introduce ourselves: we’re Wake Up! Howdy, hey, g’day!

The hostel has such a chill atmosphere and made me feel super comfortable! Unlike other hostels Wake up is clean, the right amount of social and the best activities. My favorite was the free surf board hire - Not to forget the kindest staff. Angus at the front desk was an absolute gem – he went above and beyond to help me with everything. It’s not every day you get such amazing customer service

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.

Such a good location, bathrooms were so modern and spotlessly clean, really big and powerful showers, kitchen was always maintained and cleaned and there was lots of free condiments in the kitchen which is handy as a backpacker making meals!! Best hostel on our trip up the east coast

Great location- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
