Palms on Parker Backpackers features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Maroochydore. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue.

Room was disgusting, smelt like wet clothes and feet. My bed covered with dirt from people’s shoes. Staff member agreed it stunk to high heaven, manager said she’s think about a refund as I chose to stay somewhere else-no refund

Set in Caloundra, 700 metres from Bulcock Beach, CALI Backpackers offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

I've definitely had better hostels, and for what you pay... The bed was super squeaky which kept me and my other roommates up all night. Didn't get the best sleep. One of the shower doors in the girls bathroom was missing, stuff like that. The people in the hostel were nice though!

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, just a short walk to the beach and lots of cafes/restaurants with takeaway places across the road. The room was great, lots of privacy with curtains all round your bed and met some lovely people as well. I only stayed one night but genuinely one of the best hostels I've stayed in recently.

    Have stayed here a few times since 2010, as a solo person who can't afford an expensive hotel rate it's great to be able to visit the area on a budget. Like the renovations. It's under better management than it had a few yrs ago. In a convenient location. I hope they keep good managers onboard as this is a good hostel when it's been taken care of properly but when there have been bad Managers in the past they had ruined the place. I'd rather stay in MBA than have to go all the way to Noosa.

    Cheapest accomodation available at the time, given school holidays and short notice. Parking available. Walls quite sound proof. Liked the electronic key pads to enter the room Good proximity to the beach, river, walking paths, supermarket with only a small walk. Good check in communication.

    They have recently renovated the hostel which it badly needed as the previous owners just didn't care. Need to bring back the basic backpacker breakfast for the rates being charged. The Staff on Reception were very welcoming. The new pool area looks great.
