The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Airlie. However, I found it disappointing that only a linen sheet was provided on the bed—no blanket at all. It got quite chilly at night. This setup might be fine in summer, but a blanket is definitely needed for cooler seasons!

The location is close to everything . The accommodations need better maintenance though . They sweep the room to clean real quick when there is someone checking out. I am in luck that my roommates are really nice and clean. The room look old and smell weird but if you stay long enough you will get used to it. They could make the room look better but they don’t .It’s a shame. Great place and good price for backpackers and caravan.

Perfect location close to everything. Although the staff wasn’t very friendly, the rooms and common areas really compensated for that! Would recommend!

The cleanliness is about the same. The important thing is that it is only a 20-minute walk from the pier. It is too noisy at night. There are RV campsites around and they are all young people. It is not suitable for those who like quiet. The room is also big and the sound insulation is not good

It is a youth hostel that can be reached in about 10 minutes' walk from Port Airy. There are various recreational facilities inside: beach volleyball, open-air cinema, swimming pool and so on. I stayed in a girls' quadruple room, and chatted with girls from all over the world. There are restaurants, supermarkets, swimming gear shops, and bus stops on the street... very convenient. It is also very close to the pick-up point of the largest overseas travel agency here.

The room is large, with separate bathroom, separate shower, kitchen and cloakroom. Just not very tidy and clean. It's the end of August. There is only one sheet on the bed. It's too cold. I woke up at 4 o'clock from the cold. I found a small fleece blanket in the closet. It was too small. It was about the same size as Da Da today. It was covered with two bath towels and it was barely enough for one night. . The best thing is the location, surrounded by various bars and shopping, BWS and Woolworth are 3-5 minutes walk away. The airport shuttle is also very convenient.

Stayed in Nomads for three nights. Great experience from start to finish.Nomads are very helpful in taking your luggage when you go on day trips/ overnight stays on the neighbouring islands. We were also able to stay with friends we had met on our excursions. Highly recommend. Shout out to Jake for helping us with a seamless check in.

Brilliant location. 2 pools and a tennis court. 2 kitchens. The kitchens weren’t the cleanest but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a hostel. Nearby all the clubs and located directly next to a bar where they have amazing food and events every night. The rooms were spacious with toilets and showers and a mirror area to get ready.

No privacy, no curtains and very open rooms. They did have 2 x showers and 1 x bathroom each room which was helpful. The hostel is HUGE, however the facilities themselves, i.e the pool & hammock space is always full as there’s minimal room and beds around the pool compared to the amount of guests the hostel serves. Kitchen is dirty. Staff were lovely.

We traveled as part of a tour group and stayed in Airlie beach for a couple nights, before doing a yacht on the Whitsundays. We loved Nomads so much we’re heading back for a weekend soon! The accommodation was perfect, dorm rooms are great, and we upgraded to private rooms which were beautiful! Kitchen is well stocked, 2 fab pools and the grounds themselves are beautiful. The staff were all so lovely and helpful, particularly Quentin on reception, he’s so bubbly and fun, helped with every request we had, and really made our stay memorable. Nothing was too much to ask for, he really is an amazing asset to the team! Can’t wait to return this weekend!

This hostel is grim. Do not buy the pictures that are on Google. We stayed in the 'Base' site of the hostel and I was pretty shocked at the standard of cleanliness. Curtains in the main room are all ripped and don't fit the windows, so are redundant. Aircon fan and an additional fan that was provided are coated in dust and dirt. Outer wooden fences/stairs are badly rotted and breaking away. The place is in need of a massive facelift. I wouldn't mind old if it was maintained properly and you felt that it was clean. Our room was neither. The only saving grace for the hostel is that the washing machines worked well for us and Boaty's bar on-site is a lovely lovely spot for a drink and to socialise. But avoid staying in the Base Nomads accomodation I would say.
6/7

We're pleased to hear that you found Boaty's bar to be a pleasant spot for socialising and that the washing machines were in good working order.

Really great experience at Nomads Magnetic Island. First; I appreciated to keep my backpack safe in a locked luggage room as I arrived early + the bus stop just in front of the hostel. Then, the room was good, cleaned every day (including mopping), which was really appreciated! I really liked the direct access to the beach and view to the ocean. That makes the outside/common areas really enjoyable. Everything was perfect, really. If I have to find a down, it would be the bathrooms that could be better (the flower shower). I will definitely be back!
