1 of the frontdesk Irish female staff was so rude, not sure if she knows but Aussie like good service. We stayed in campground And the portable toilets and showers not really that clean if you could find one that works, either the doors didnt lock the showers didn't work or there was no taps to turn on shower.

This place reminded me of some of the places I stayed in Asia, big and spacious, super clean and tidy, and amazing staff to boot. It might not be the cheapest place in town, but you'd be crazy to stay anywhere else. From the moment I arrived (hours before I could check in) I was well treated, and given a... More

We stayed at Nomads for 1 night (thankfully) before our boat trip on the Whitsundays. We checked in late and had to wait 30 minutes in the rain for the security guard even though they were expecting us. After filling out paperwork in the rain the first room we were taken to had buckets on the beds and the girls... More

We were on the campground at this hostel. It was nice enough tidy, clean and level ground. It seemed great. What let it down was the toilets and showers. They are in a portable cabin that had been converted, they aren't exactly clean but their tolerable. So far 4*. What brought it down to a 2* is on the second... More

My husband, daughter and I have just returned from Australia which included two stays at Nomads. We were booked on a 3 day cruise round Whitsundays and stayed for 2 nights immediately before the sail and for one night when we came off the boat. Shiree (Irish girl on reception) couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. Our daughter was... More

I had friends in magnums and base, mine was far nicer. Rooms were big even for 8bed dorm, ensuite with two showers and very clean. Each bed has own reading lamp which was excellent! Located in middle of everything. Only fault I have once again is no lockers in rooms but could pay for them in reception, this seems be... More

Stayed for one night, not great. The dorms were an ok size and fairly clean but the bunk beds were very shakey and were the super high ones which are hard to get into and too close to the ceiling. The bar is disappointing dispite trying to be a party hostel, so full of 18 year olds with no where... More

This was the best hostel we stayed at in Australia with more than what we bargained for including a swimming pool, volley ball court, great kitchen and dining facilities, clean, modern rooms and nice clean shower facilities and for a great price
