Byron Bay Backpackers Inn On The Beach

29 Shirley St, Byron Bay, New South Wales 2481

Backpackers Inn On The Beach is a family-run hostel located within a short stroll of Byron Bay's golden sand dunes and crystal-clear waters. This hostel exemplifies the essence of surf culture and is the perfect location for enjoying it all.

Backpackers Inn will never leave you bored thanks to its regular live music events, amazing fire displays, VIP nights, and BBQs. Additionally, the unique horseshoe shape of the hostel, which draws everyone together in the central courtyard next to the swimming pool, creates a remarkable atmosphere where many friendships are formed during Schoolies week. The hostel's spacious grassy backyard, beach volleyball court, and complimentary boogie boards and bicycles make it the ideal hangout spot.

If you're seeking peace and quiet you are able to relax in one of the hostel's comfortable rooms or in one of the hostel's many hanging chairs and hammocks. In addition, you can head to the beach or take a couple-minute stroll to the nearby bars, shops, and restaurants located at the center of Byron Bay town.

This hostel is ideal for Schoolies since it is only five minutes on foot from the shore and just a ten-minute stroll from both the Schoolies parties and the Byron Bay town centre. Schoolies can enjoy free Wi-Fi, an outdoor swimming pool, and a terrace with evening entertainment, as well as a shared kitchen, communal lounge area with a television, and shared bathroom amenities. There are also an array of on-site and neighboring activities, such as snorkeling, table tennis, and beach volleyball.

Then why are you still waiting? Come "chill out" with us at Backpackers Inn On The Beach, the center of surf culture and relaxation during Byron Bay Schoolies Week.
