I loved my stay in Bounce , it definitely exceeded my expectations ; The facilities were very cleaned and well equipped- The staff was amazing and so attentive, they were really engaged with all of us, not only encouraging us to participate in the events but also getting to know us. I would also love to mention Amanda and Emir because they helped and supported me a lot during my stay!

Nomads Airlie Beach is such a vibe! 🌴 From the moment I checked in, Ellis and Bella at reception were absolute legends – super friendly, full of energy, and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They really set the tone for an amazing stay! The place itself is clean, fun, and perfectly located for exploring Airlie. Big shoutout to Victor, who keeps the kitchen spotless and to Vale from housekeeping – she’s an absolute star and made sure everything was perfect every day. Between the awesome staff, great facilities, and chilled tropical atmosphere, Nomads Airlie Beach is 100% the place to be! 🌞💫

While this backpackers place had a superb location, the kitchen's condition and cleanliness, as well as the absence of duvets and super squeaky bed frames, were points of concern. If you're planning to visit during winter, it's essential to be prepared for potential chilly nights. Despite these drawbacks, the friendly atmosphere and convenient location could still make it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travellers.
