Flashpackers

Noosa


Flashpackers challenges the notion of hostels as flea-bitten dives. Thoughtful touches to its neat four- and six-bed dorms include full-length mirrors, personal reading lights, ample wall sockets and the free use of surfboards and bodyboards. Other freebies include cheese and wine on Mondays, a sausage BBQ on Fridays, and a courtesy bus to/from the main bus station and around Noosa.
