YHA AUSTRALIA
Raising the bar (not the budget) for group accommodation
YHA Australia is the country’s largest network of high-quality youth and group accommodation, featuring 19 properties in great destinations across Australia. With flexible, tailored stay options and budget-friendly group rates, here’s why YHA is the perfect choice for your school’s next trip.
Accommodation to suit every need
Every school group is different. Whether you're travelling with a small class or a full year level, YHA’s flexible accommodation options makes sure every student and teacher is comfortable and well cared for. From shared co-living spaces for 4–8 people, to private single, queen, or twin rooms with ensuite or shared bathrooms, YHA can cater to the whole gamut of group sizes and gender compositions.
Everything you came to explore on your doorstep
With YHA, your group doesn't have to travel far from their accommodation to discover and learn. YHA’s diverse properties are in the heart of major cities, national parks or close to iconic cultural and historical sites. With most also steps from public transport and local amenities, your group spends less time navigating logistics and more time exploring, learning, and connecting.
Quality without compromise
Forget what you thought you knew about shared stays – YHA is raising the bar for quality and comfort in group accommodation. Across its network, you’ll find thoughtfully designed spaces that are perfect for groups, with standout features like cinema rooms, games areas, meeting spaces, and dedicated group zones that make downtime for your group easier than ever!
YHA Sydney Harbour, YHA Sydney Central, YHA Brisbane City, and YHA Thredbo have recently undergone major refurbishments, elevating the experience even further. Think premium private rooms, cleverly designed privacy bunks with personal lighting and charging ports, and extra-spacious secure lockers. It’s shared accommodation reimagined for modern school travel.
Safe, secure and stress-free
Nothing matters more than your group’s safety and security. That’s why select YHA properties offer the option to lock off entire floors or even rent the entire property for extra privacy and easy supervision by group leaders. YHA have hosted thousands of school groups from across Australia and beyond, and have strict, expertly-honed child safety and group policies in place at all properties for your peace of mind.
The price is right
Planning a school trip often means balancing big ideas with tight budgets, but YHA makes that equation even easier. With competitive group rates and the option to book entire rooms exclusively for your group, schools can access high-quality accommodation without the high price tag. Plus, with full access to onsite amenities like kitchens, laundry and dining room areas, you can squeeze even more value out of every booking without even leaving the property.
Affordable (and delicious) catering
Booked accommodation, transport, activities and now needing to consider food? YHA’s group catering packages take the stress out of mealtime planning. Available at most properties, the in-house options include continental breakfast and hearty lunch and dinner menus crafted with school groups in mind. Meals are fresh, seasonal and thoughtfully curated; nut and seafood-free by default, with options for vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-sensitive diets. It’s convenient, hassle-free group dining at its best!
