Backpackers Accommodation

About the heading Backpackers Accommodation in Yellow Pages®

Backpacker accommodation, sometimes referred to as youth hostels, is accommodation where backpackers or budget travellers are able to live temporarily and cheaply. Backpackers are a significant section of the overall tourism market in Australia. On average they take longer trips than other tourists, and international backpackers spend considerably more money per trip and travel to more regions of Australia than other visitors.

There is a range of backpacker’s accommodation available throughout Australia. Most offer clean, comfortable, quality accommodation at low cost. Backpacker accommodation is available to independent travellers, groups and families. The accommodation available varies from dormitory style rooms where a number of people share, to single and double rooms with an ensuite. Hostels offer a broad range of accommodation and some hostels provide amenities such as air conditioning, swimming pools, barbeques, television and shared kitchen and laundry facilities. Many hostels have won awards for the accommodation and amenities they offer. Backpacker hostels can also provide information on tourist hot spots in the local area. These might include activities such as horse riding, bungee jumping or canoeing. Some backpacker accommodations have cafes, bistros and bars onsite.

Backpacker’s accommodation is located throughout cities and regional areas and is usually situated in popular tourist destinations such as capital cities and coastal areas. Hostels are also available in more remote areas such as the outback and central Western Australia. The Youth Hostel Association Australia is an organisation that people of any age can join. YHA Australia has a large network of hostels in which to stay, ranging from large urban properties to eco-hostels in the bush.
