Who we are 
At YHA Australia, we provide affordable, quality accommodation with purpose. We're committed to creating a more open and welcoming world where connections thrive and experiences matter. 
 
What sets us apart? We're a not-for-profit, membership-based social enterprise where profits go straight back into improving our properties and creating positive social, cultural and environmental impact (like our Travel to Learn program). For over 80 years, we've been making travel accessible and transformative. 
 
Our network spans 19 uniquely characterful properties across Australia – from the rooftop views of Sydney Harbour YHA to historic cells at Fremantle Prison to eco-retreats nestled in National Parks. 
 
We're proudly part of Hostelling International – a global community of 3,000+ places to stay across 70+ countries. We believe travel should do more than move you from place to place, it should move you to think differently, live boldly, and protect the world you're exploring.

About Our Byron Bay Properties YHA Cape Byron, YHA Byron Bay, and our brand-new property The Deck offer inviting common areas surrounding spacious, heated pools and BBQ zones – perfect for socialising and enjoying your stay. With surfboards and boogie boards for hire, you can easily explore the beaches. Ideally located in the town centre, all properties are within walking distance of the beach and cycling paths.
