Welcome to Airlie Waterfront Backpackers, located in Airlie Beach, the gateway to the beautiful Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef.
We are magnificently located across from the beach and foreshore, and just a short stroll from the main street, lagoon and bus station.
Having undergone a recent refurbishment, you’ll find our rooms modern, clean and air-conditioned, most with en suite showers & toilets. We also have two communal areas and balconies with stunning ocean views.
Looking to escape? It’s time to relax and enjoy the activities the area has to offer. It's your choice of sailing, diving, island resort accommodation, rain forest exploring, seaplane flights, skydiving, fishing, kayaking and more!

Our hostel has a full tour desk to help you with any inquiry. You can also email us prior to arrival with any sailing inquiries and we're happy to provide unbiased, local advise.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
