Why we recommend it
Bunk Surfers Paradise is a hostel on Beach Road in the centre of Surfers Paradise, aimed at backpackers and budget travellers who want to be in the middle of the action. Bars, beaches, restaurants and cafes are within walking distance, and the hostel is also close to public transport, including the Greyhound bus terminal, which makes it a convenient first stop for travellers arriving on long-distance coaches.
Every room type listed by the hostel has its own bathroom, so there is no queueing for shared showers down a corridor. Dormitories range from four-bed to eight-bed ensuite rooms, with deluxe and superior versions of some room types, and female-only options are available in the four-bed dorms. For couples or travellers who want privacy, there are private ensuite queen rooms, including a deluxe version, and private rooms combining a queen bed with bunks, which work well for small groups of friends or families on a tight budget.
The hostel has communal areas and an outdoor space for meeting other travellers, and in-room lockers help keep valuables secure. Its neighbour is The Island Gold Coast, a boutique hotel with a restaurant and rooftop bar, and Bunk guests are offered special deals at its bars, which gives the hostel a social edge and an easy first night out for new arrivals.
Bunk suits solo travellers, young groups and anyone watching their budget who still wants a central location. It is less suited to travellers looking for quiet, as Surfers Paradise is the Gold Coast's busiest nightlife area. Book ahead for school holidays and summer weekends, when demand for budget beds is highest, and check the booking conditions on the official website, including any age or identification requirements, before you arrive.
From the hostel, the beach and Cavill Avenue are close on foot, the G:link light rail runs through Surfers Paradise for trips to Broadbeach and Southport, and theme park buses can be reached via Helensvale. General enquiries can be made by phone or by email to the address published on the hostel's website, and room types and rates are listed online for direct booking, which is the easiest way to compare dorm sizes and private options side by side.
