WELCOME
to YHA Australia.
Discover Australia with the hostel network that delivers quality, fun and affordable accommodation all around the country.
Your stay
YHA hostels are made for travellers, so our hostels include all the things that make you feel more at home, including friendly and local staff, fully equipped kitchens, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and spotless and spacious bathroom facilities.
Good times included
All of our hostels have fun social areas, comfy lounge rooms, televisions, board games and more. Many of our hostels also include extra treats like swimming pools, social events, 24-hour reception and movie rooms.
Booking
Our staff are happy to book your next hostel. Also, you can book our hostels via yha.com.au up to nine months in advance. Because we are popular places to stay we recommend that you book in advance, as many hostels are fully booked during busy periods. Length of stay may be limited to 14 days, but can be extended at the hostel manager’s discretion.
Check-in
As no two hostels are the same, check your destination hostel’s reception opening hours in the guide. If you plan to arrive early or late, let us know in advance so we can arrange things for your arrival.

You’ll need to provide photo ID, or if this is not available, sufficient alternative authentication of identity.
Bedtime
To make your stay easy, all YHAs provide linen, blankets and pillows free of charge (except for Wilderness Hostels). You can bring your own linen if you prefer, but sleeping bags are prohibited due to Australian health regulations. You will need to bring a towel.
Age limits
YHA welcomes solo travellers, groups and families of all ages. n If you are 16 or under you will need a parent/legal guardian aged over 21 to stay with you in a private room. n If you are 17 you can stay unaccompanied if you have a letter from your parent/legal guardian stating that they are aware you are staying at the hostel and that the hostel will not supervise your activities. n Children under two stay for free – lucky things. However, please check with the hostel before you arrive or make a booking, as a few of our hostels aren’t equipped for youngsters.
