The Surf House

Great hostel. Clean, great location and friendly staff. Was given a free drinks voucher when I checked in which was a nice touch! Also a lot of free events on throughout the week. Highly recommended!

I definitely recommend this hostel!

We stayed here in January 2024. The check in process was seamless, in addition very helpful and friendly staff. The hostel is immaculately clean and modern. The staff go above and beyond to assist with any inquires or needs. The bed was extremely comfortable and noise levels were very minimal. Location is right in the heart of Byron Bay township. I highly recommend this hostel and will be a returning guest.

Amazing spacious clean hostel with very convenient location to main beach and town. Spacious clean kitchen with lockers and boiled hot water and filtered cold water handy in the kitchen. Beach towel and surfboard provided for free. This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed and I would definitely come back again.

We stayed at the surf house for 5 nights during our east coast trip and it was great! The hostel doesn’t have that usual hostel feel to it and is bright, spacious and attractive when you first walk in. The location is perfect, and the facilities were great, particularly the kitchen area & rooftop! We were lucky enough to be given one of the more spacious dorm rooms which was even better, however the actual comfort of the rooms could be uplifted. The beds were averagely comfortable but not horrendous. There could be more showers available as there was only 3 to a corner of rooms so sometimes this caused queuing. The cleaners also cleaned the bathrooms at the prime time to wake up so we’d most of the time find ourselves having to use different bathrooms when we first woke up! There was always plenty activities on and you could hire surf boards free of charge, we didn’t utilise this but was a great incentive! Definitely the best hostel we’ve had! 9/10 from us 😁

It was a really nice stay! Very Clean everywhere and really liked the morning yoga :)

After a 14 hour trip on a Greyhound Coach up from Sydney, you can’t believe your eyes when you finally see The Surf House before you. Upon checking in, you’re greeted by seasoned professionals in the art of reception-ism and are given a free drinks voucher for the bar which you take as your permission to paint the town red. Once you defeat the final staircase and claim the treasure of a bed and a good nights rest, you are taken by sweet surprised at the balcony in your room overlooking the Main Street. One trip to Aldi later and you’re demonstrating your chef skills in the hostel kitchen, Gordon Ramsey who? It could be slightly cleaner, but when you’ve stayed in a few hostels you know there’s no such thing as spotless. The housekeeping staff do a good job at keeping the place tidy after hours. Up at the roof top bar you claim your free drink (although there’s only one drink it’s valid for; the house larger) and put your name down for the pool competition. Someone orders a pizza and it looks good so you get one too. After a few more drinks you’re at the beach with a guitar singing Take Me Home, Country Roads while the sun goes down. You borrowed a towel from the hostel reception and you left your shoes behind because it’s Byron Bay. All your friends have to walk a mile back from the beach to their accommodation but you chose the surf house. You’ll be in bed before they’re even half way and you can rent a surfboard in the morning. Why would you want to stay anywhere else?

Probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in globally. Private room was great - comfortable bed, good ensuite, air con. Hostel facilities also great - huge kitchen which was always clean, big social area on the roof with activities so easy to meet others. Super convenient location walking distance to everything. Staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
