FABULOUS

Staying at Nomads Airlie was genuinely the best decision we made on our entire trip. From the second we arrived, the vibe was unreal — amazing atmosphere, great people, and honestly felt like paradise. The pool area is next level and became our daily hangout spot, and the kitchen facilities were actually so good compared to most hostels. Everything was clean, social, and just had the perfect energy. But the real reason we booked — and the absolute highlight of the whole place — was Ellis. Easily the greatest worker to ever walk this planet. This man deserves a statue outside the hostel. Funniest, friendliest, most welcoming person ever and completely made our experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond every single day and created such an incredible environment for everyone there. If Ellis ever leaves, the Australian tourism industry might collapse. Could not recommend Nomads Airlie more. Unreal hostel, unreal people, unreal memories. We already want to come back.

Would stay there again, was a good experience

In a good location with a strip of pubs, nightclubs, restaurants,clothing stores, etc in walking distance. staff are so friendly and helpful. The office is open late which is convenient if you’re getting to your accommodation late.

Bad facilities, good setting

The setting of the hostel and its communal areas is certainly lovely; it consists of bungalows set within a sort of campsite where you can eat outdoors even in the evening and watch the sunset and sunrise. It’s in the very heart of Airlie Beach and serves as a starting point for tours and shuttle services.

The location is brilliant and the wildlife around the room was amazing, e.g. Cockatoos. The room was spacious, the aircon worked fine.
