MEET OUR HOSTELS
From Sydney to Bondi to Byron Bay, see what makes each Wake Up Hostel unique.
WAKE UP! SYDNEY
Voted Australia's Best Hostel
Solo travellers, start here! The vibe is high at Wake Up Sydney, with group activities, guided walking tours, and plenty of themed nights and parties. Sydney is the first and biggest of all our Wake Up Hostels. It has an ace location in the centre of Sydney, its own cafe, restaurant and nightclub, and a super social energy. The ideal hostel for when you first arrive into Australia.
WAKE UP! BONDI BEACH
The ultimate Aussie beach lifestyle
Calling all lovers of the sun, sea and surf! Wake Up Bondi Beach lets you live the classic Aussie beach lifestyle. You’ll love its location (directly opposite the beach), charming character building, and open-air rooftop. Combine all that with weekly wellness activities like yoga and personal training, beach walks, and social nights, and you’ll see why there’s no place like Bondi Beach!
WAKE UP! BYRON BAY
Welcome to paradise
You ready to level up your hostel game? Wake Up Byron Bay serves up resort vibes on a backpacking budget. A perfect paradise for both solo travellers and groups, it’s the kind of place where you can both join in and have space to yourself. Social and wellness activities run on the daily, our swimming pool and bar area are epic, the beach is just across the road. One of Byron’s best hidden gems.
