CHECK-IN As no two hostels are the same, check your destination hostel’s reception opening hours in the guide. If you plan to arrive early or late, let us know in advance so we can arrange things for your arrival. You’ll need to provide photo ID, or if this is not available, sufficient alternative authentication of identity.

WHAT TO EXPECT To make your stay easy, all YHAs provide linen, blankets and pillows free of charge (except for Wilderness Hostels). You can bring your own linen if you prefer, but sleeping bags are prohibited due to Australian health regulations. You will need to bring a towel.

AGE LIMITS YHA welcomes solo travellers, groups and families of all ages. If you are 16 or under you will need a parent/legal guardian aged over 21 to stay with you in a private room. I f you are 17 you can stay unaccompanied if you have a letter from your parent/legal guardian stating that they are aware you are staying at the hostel and that the hostel will not supervise your activities. Children under two stay for free – lucky things. However, please check with the hostel before you arrive or make a booking, as a few of our hostels aren’t equipped, or suitable for youngsters.

A truly unforgettable experience!

ADELAIDE Festivals, markets, hip bars and amazing food abound in Adelaide, the cultural and cool capital city of South Australia. With easy accessibility to the surrounding regions, you could find yourself swimming with dolphins in the morning, cuddling a koala in the Adelaide Hills in the afternoon and partying into the wee hours to complete your day. Free bike hire for everyone, provided by the Adelaide City Council, makes getting around this bike-friendly city a breeze, and the network of parks, museums and galleries, gives you an easy opportunity to escape the city bustle.
