We are a small and social hostel that pride ourselves on feeling like a home away from home. You can relax in our outdoor lounge area, have fun in the games room or prepare a tasty meal in our amazing communal kitchen. We even have a tour desk that can arrange trips to any places along the east coast.

They are located in Sunshine Beach but very close to Noosa Junction and Noosa Heads. You can get bus with your GoCard or free shuttle buses to bus station or just walk for a few minutes. The place was so clean and beautiful with comfortable beds and nice furniture. The shared bathroom was just besides the private room.

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Sunshine Beach, Dolphins Backpackers offers free WiFi and is set in lovely gardens.

A range of accommodation options is on offer, from dormitory rooms to self-contained apartments and private rooms. All rooms are air conditioned and serviced daily.

The beach was very accessible - just a short walk by shops and restaurants. Staff went out of their way to be helpful to me more than once.

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.

    Great location. Friendly staff. The room had all the basics I needed and was clean. The shared bathroom was typical for a hostel and pretty clean. Very convenient parking. Just a quick walk to all the shops, restaurants, and beach

    Great location, right on the edge of the beach and the high street. Staff were quite helpful but not particularly present. Quite a nice traveler vibe with a big communal area. Rooms are very basic and there's no air-con which is manageable in a private room but not sure how the dorm rooms cope. Kitchen facilities are ok, can get a bit dirty but staff seem to keep on top of it. No WiFi in rooms unfortunately, just communal area. Free range turkeys and iguanas walking around the hostel which is quite fun!
