About Us:

At YHA Australia, we provide affordable, quality accommodation with purpose. We're committed to creating a more open and welcoming world where connections thrive and experiences matter.

What sets us apart? We're a not-for-profit, membership-based organisation where profits go straight back into improving our properties and creating positive social, cultural and environmental impact. For over 80 years, we've been making travel accessible and transformative.

Our network spans 20 uniquely characterful properties across Australia – from the rooftop views of Sydney Harbour YHA to historic cells at Fremantle Prison to eco-retreats nestled in National Parks and the beautiful Byron Bay.

We're proudly part of Hostelling International – a global community of 3,000+ places to stay across 70+ countries that believe travel should do more than move you from place to place. It should move you to think differently, live boldly, and protect the world you're exploring.

YHA Cairns Central is ideally situated in the bustling centre of Cairns, boasting 209 beds across 59 rooms, all set in a relaxed ambiance with expansive outdoor living areas and verdant tropical flora. It's an excellent base for venturing into the extraordinary convergence of two World Heritage wonders: the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Immerse yourself in the reef's dazzling marine life through scuba diving or snorkelling, unveiling the breathtaking coral habitats. Meanwhile, Mission Beach provides a perpetual summer atmosphere in a tranquil coastal town, renowned for sightings of the rare cassowary.
