Some of the best backpacker spots in Rainbow Beach

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.

Lovely hostel. Only here for one night but was a great location close to beach and town and right next to tours to Fraser as well. Staff were so helpful and friendly!

Great location, close to everything in town. Bar on site was well stocked. Hostel fine, just needs updating.

great location and perfect if you’re going on the Fraser Island tour as it’s next door to Pippies Hostel which is the departure point.

The cafe, pool, tables, and social vibe make this hostel great. Coffee and drinks are cheap. My room was extremely spacious and had an ensuite, so it was brilliant.

very nice hostel, felt a bit like a resort for backpackers. unfortunately I stayed only one night but wish I stayed there longer! rooms were very comfortable and clean and there were two pools that both had nice hang out areas. also there was a nice bar and even surfboards to rent in the hostel. I would definitely come back again!

Great location literally opposite greyhound bus. Clean hostel although kitchen utensils need an upgrade as none of the pans had handles. Social hostel and was clean
