Great little hostel nestled away in the trees about a 20 minute walk from Nimbin itself. Staff were super friendly and clearly love running the hostel. Stayed here for 3 nights on my way up the coast and very much enjoyed being able to completely chill out in this relaxed environment. Kitchen was ample size for the size of the... More

Hidden at the foot of the mountains this is an excellent well run hostel! Near enough to be part of Nimbin... Far enough away to chill! Manager couldn't be more helpful. Lifts people from bus, sorts in house Bbq's etc & can even be seen washing the sheets. If you are in Byron at least take one night at the... More

I stayed at the Nimbin Rox Backpackers on a short trip to escape the Gold Coast whilst in QLD for work. I was impressed. The staff member who took my call & showed me around once I arrived was very helpful and went out of her way to make guests feel welcome. The room I chose was a separate double... More

Really enjoyed our stay here. Stayed in a doubleroom (Orchard2), it was out back and away from pool/music room. The scenery is amazing and the town centre only a 10 minute walk away. The kitchen was top notch and what you would expect from a good hostel. Interent was free at reception. No TV in room but relaxation was the... More

Got a tour of the YHA and told 'no bongs or magic mushrooms". It seems everything else was fine. People smoked pot outside kitchen at 8am, where it was the only place to sit and eat. People slept on lounge with their backpacks next to them, so they didn't have a room. Given a mouldy tent to sleep in. I... More

This hostel is the best i have stayed in so far. A little bit out of town, up on a hill, it has this magnificent view and the whole atmosphere is just magical. You can relax in the pool area and listen to music or go further down for a breathtaking view and some small wallabies. The kitchen is well... More

My partner and I stayed here a couple of days. We both noticed we were surrounded by young men who seemed to have taken a vow of silence (or unable to have a normal conversation). If you don't mind being surrounded by young men with poor communication skills, and who leave there dirty dishes in the sink, you will love... More

Intended to stay for one day and ended up leaving about three days later. Beautiful location and scenery at the top of a hill, away from the main street in Nimbin. Price was fairly decent (I think it was about $15 for me per night) for a campervan and the facilities were good. The owners take a mini bus into... More
