Response from the owner 3 months ago Dear Fiona, Thanks so much for the lovely review. We are really happy we could help you out with a private room at short notice and that you felt comfortable during your stay. We are especially glad we could help turn a rough day after missing your flight into a great one. Sometimes all you need is a comfy place, good people, and a stress free stay. Our team will be stoked to hear your kind words. Creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere is a huge part of what we aim for, so it is great to hear both our staff and other guests helped make your stay a positive one. You really cannot beat the convenience of being so close to the airport, food spots, and the beach as well. Thanks again for staying with us and we would absolutely love to have you back anytime you are on the Gold Coast again ☀️ Heather and the YHA team

Response from the owner 8 months ago Hello Antoine! Thank you so much for such an amazing and entertaining review! We truly loved having you stay with us, and it’s so wonderful to hear that our team helped make your time here feel a little bit magical — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for our guests. We’re delighted you enjoyed the clean, spacious kitchen (and yes, that fridge really could have its own postcode 😄). It’s great to know the facilities made your stay comfortable and easy. Our location near the airport is definitely a bonus, and we’re glad it worked perfectly for your plans — whatever adventures (or escapes!) they involved. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to YHA Coolangatta anytime in the future. Warm wishes, Ayla GSA Supervisor YHA Coolangatta 💛

Response from the owner a month ago Hey there, Wow, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and beautifully written review. Reading it genuinely put a smile on all of our faces. We love that you captured the relaxed, beachside feel of Coolangatta so perfectly. That slower pace, easy access to the beach, airport, cafés, and surf breaks is exactly what makes this little corner of the Gold Coast so special, and we are so glad you got to experience it. Your kind words about our team mean the world to us. Ayla, James, Sergio, and the rest of the crew all put so much heart into what they do, and we cannot wait to share your feedback with them. Knowing they helped make you feel welcome and at home is the biggest compliment we could ask for. We are also really pleased you enjoyed the pool area, our shared spaces, and even our Pay It Forward shelf. It is little touches like these, along with the amazing travellers who stay with us, that help create the friendly community we are so proud of. The line about planning to stay a few nights and ending up extending is one of our favourites because it happens more often than you might think! It was an absolute privilege having you as part of our little YHA Coolangatta family. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so thoughtfully. We will have a smile on our faces when we welcome you back, because as you said so perfectly... "Yeah... you'll be back." ☀️ Heather and the YHA Team

Response from the owner 2 weeks ago Dear HY Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so pleased we could make your early flight a little easier. Being just a short walk from Gold Coast Airport is one of the things our guests love most, and it's great to hear it worked so well for you. It's also wonderful to know you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, our pool, and the relaxed summer vibe around the hostel. We work hard to create a welcoming community where people can unwind, meet fellow travellers, and still get a good night's sleep, so I'm really glad that came across during your stay. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. I hope your travels bring you back to Coolangatta again soon, I'd love to welcome you back! Heather and the YHA Team☀️
