Wake Up! Byron Bay

Belongil Beach, Byron Bay

Wake Up! Byron Bay has a wide range of accommodation options, including double and twin en suite rooms, en suite dormitory rooms with options of eight, six or four beds and female-only rooms. The property has renovated bathrooms and communal areas with fully air-conditioned rooms. Personal bedside lights, power points and USB ports are included for every bed. The staff was awesome! I’m pretty introverted but on the first night, a male staff member saw me standing by myself watching beer pong and immediately introduced himself and then introduced me to a group of girls who I’ve met up with a few times since during my travels. Property was clean and quiet and the hostel had fun events to meet people. Probably my favorite hostel I’ve ever been to!
