Backpacker & Budget Accommodation

A huge state with an equally big range of experiences awaiting every eager backpacker…Queensland is more than just the state of sunshine.

Where else can you dive on the world class Great Barrier Reef, trek through the spectacular Daintree Rainforest or strap on a saddle at an outback cattle station?

Competition for the backpacker and budget dollar is fierce, which means there are bargains to be had in every region. Free meals, discounted package deals and high quality facilities are common incentives.

Booking is advisable in peak periods (July and August are the busiest months) when you can choose from 500-bed city emporiums to more relaxing, intimate surrounds under rainforest canopies or on pristine white beaches.

Clean and private rooms are standard, with many places boasting a complete lack of bunk beds and properly sprung mattresses!

Tropical gardens, luxury pool facilities and modern grounds are found from Brisbane to Airlie Beach. Ample assistance is offered when organising tours and if you are tempted to plant roots and earn while you explore, employment registers are also a regular feature of the Queensland backpacker sector.
