Resort vibes. Feel good energy. Before we dip into the dreamy details, let us introduce ourselves: we’re Wake Up! Howdy, hey, g’day! We believe that to travel, is to get social with new people, embrace epic experiences, and step outside your comfort zone. It’s to play hard, rest easy, and re-discover yourself. We created Wake Up! Byron so you could soak up the best parts of living in this part of the world. That we happen to be the Best Hostel in Oceania, is the cherry on top. Hidden amongst lush palm trees, Wake Up! Byron Bay is the sorta place that immediately feels special. More resort than hostel, we invite you to dip your toes into a dreamy swimming pool, zen out with daily yoga classes, mix with new mates at The Pool Bar, and rest in a sunkissed room to suit your style at day's end. And did we mention our epic ice bath and spacious sauna? Or the idyllic location, free surfboard hire, and wicked onsite restaurant? The bits you love most: Epic ice bath and seriously spacious sauna Daily, complimentary yoga classes in our onsite studio Drinks, chats & sun-soaking by the swimming pool and bar. Run club, every Friday crew! Beach walks, BBQ nights and bar specials Soaking up sunset picnics on the beach, directly across the road Complimentary shuttle bus throughout the day, ace tunes included. The parts we obsess over: Keeping your shared dorms (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 beds) & private rooms kept to the highest standard (the best bunks, the best housekeeping team) Finessing over the details Finding the right team members, so everyone from Activities Crew to Reception bring the Byron vibes Creating an experience that unfolds into your best-kept memories. There’s a lot to love about Wake Up! Byron Bay. We can’t wait to be part of your story. And for you to be part of ours.

It is not on the center but as there is a shuttle it is pretty convenient and the place is really chilled.

A really nice hostel with chill, relaxed vibes. Definitely suited for young travellers who like to socialize. It is located outside Byron Bay town itself, but it's only a 20 minute walk to the town or you can use the frequent free shuttle from the...

Great social hostel. Loved the welcoming feel from all staff. Despite it being just out of the main town there’s a very convenient shuttle and also isn’t too far to walk. Also great that it has a small beach just a stones throw from the hostel...

Really nice atmosphere, pool is great and everything is clean. Shuttle bus is super handy and the beach is right across the road. Not loud at night. Daily activities were fun. The tree house restaurant next door is delicious and has a great vibe.

Brilliant location right on the beach. AC worked great in the room, enough room for luggage, great shuttle service, clean common areas. The receptionist, Harry, was friendly and gave some great tips for scuba diving around Byron Bay.
