Surfers Paradise Backpackers Resort

Consistently rated amongst the top backpacker accommodation options in town, this place earns its 'resort' title thanks to a swimming pool, basketball and volleyball court, mini cinema, pool tables and fully licensed bar. Located just a few minutes walk from the beach, it's also conveniently just a couple of minutes from Surfers main transport hub, making it easy to arrive from the airport or explore other parts of town during your stay. Of course as a majority of guests come to the Gold Coast to party, it's no surprise that they also offer nightly in-house parties as well as their own team of reps for nightly outings – the latter coming with free entry and free drinks. Private rooms and apartments are also available for those who'd like a bit more privacy.
