The property is newly refurbished, spotlessly clean, and offers very comfortable beds. The staff are amazing, and its convenient location makes it ideal, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach.

The hostel has such a chill atmosphere and made me feel super comfortable! Unlike other hostels Wake up is clean, the right amount of social and the best activities. My favorite was the free surf board hire - Not to forget the kindest staff. Angus at the front desk was an absolute gem – he went above and beyond to help me with everything. It’s not every day you get such amazing customer service

There are three big points. ①Anyway, the staff is a reliable place. If you are in trouble, you will definitely help me. ② The kitchen and toilet are all cleaned and it's very clean. ③ The guests staying at the hotel are warm and welcoming. You don't feel alone Even if the nationality is different. ---------------------------------- Kanami, one of the staff, is very wonderful. When I talked to her, I was able to relax and enjoy my stay here. Max,one of the staff, worked hard to solve the troubles that occurred during my journey. I left my cell phone on the bus and my cell phone went to Brisbane. He called the bus company over and over again so that I could get my cell phone back. It was enough to impress me. Thank you sooo much, Max!made my Byron LIFE.

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- walking distance to everything. Friendly, helpful staff and nice clean facilities and rooms. The pool area was also very nice, as well as plenty of outdoor and indoor eating/ chilling space. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far!
