Set in Mission Beach, 2.5 km from Bingil Bay Beach, Jackaroo Treehouse Rainforest Retreat offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar.

The coziest little rainforest hostel. We booked our stay in Mission beach quite late, so we checked in without having a lot of expectations, but was positively surprised. We booked the private room with a balcony included, which was the perfect setting for a morning coffee. We experienced not just wallabies hanging around in the garden at midnight, but a cassowary came by the very next morning. This made the stay unforgettable!

Situated in Mission Beach, 2.6 km from Narragon Beach, Mission Beach Retreat features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities.

Small hostel with a friendly vibe. Twice weekly minibus trips to woolworths, good area for cooking, small but nice pool area. Shuttle from greyhound stop to hostel for €5AUD (wouldn’t recommend walking it with your bag in the heat). Great location if you are doing a skydive with skydive Aus and if you book it through the hostel you get a free night. Also very close to the beach but you can only swim in a designated netted area.

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.

    Staying here is like finding a hidden gem. Rob and his team should be so proud of what they have created. Rob takes time to welcome all guests with helpful information. It’s a beautiful retreat with many chill out areas. I love the music and ambience here. Comfy beds, lovely size pool / laundry are an added bonus. You will see young wallabies in the gardens. Really lovely cafe too with a licences bar. Frequent shuttle bus available to all. Thank you… Best hostel to date.

    This is an "old school" backpacker hostel in the positive sense - it's got character, a nice atmosphere and it's not too big so that it's very easy to meet new people. The location is also amazing, very close to the beach and close to some nice bars, cafés and restaurants. Steph does a very good job running the place and helped us with anything we needed.

    It has a great location, just across the road from the beach and good cafés nearby. Nice swimming pool, adequate supplies in cabins. It's a good fairly cheap place to stay if there are only two of you using the double bed.

    Really nice and cozy single bed units (w/ good mattress!) with their own bathrooms and even personal fridge. Exactly what I needed after a month of hostels! The area is very quiet yet has a lot to offer. Caravan park itself is located right on the beach and within walking distance from the greyhound stop. Also had all you need as a backpacker, including laundry machines and a kitchen. Perfect stop for relaxing for a few days.

    Beautiful place in the middle of the trees. Very clean und friendly. Great hikes around and miles of empty beaches. Best hostel I've been in in Australia so far. Nice outdoor area to just chill, enjoy the sun and have some peace and quiet. Best Burger in a cute Cafe just down the road. They also do Trivia nights there etc which were fun.
