Having stayed at other YHAs in Australia we were expecting a certain standard, but how this is still in the YHA family I do not know, it was terrible. We had a twin with a shared bathroom. It was run down and dirty. The staff were terrible too, when we asked if there was a shuttle bus to the airport... more

This is not the nicest YHA's you'll ever see, but it's still OK and certainly not bad. more

We stayed here for a night before heading off on a 3 night Whitsunday tour on the Ron of Argyll. There is nothing wrong with this hostel. It just wasn't good value for money.

The first time there, they didnt have the room ready for... more

When I first travelled around Australia, many years ago, it never crossed my mind to stay at the YHAs but, this time I have stayed at a number of them and Airlie Beach YHA is one of the better ones. We spent 5 nights here, with a sailing trip in between those nights. The price paid was $25 for a... more
