Port Macquarie Backpackers Port Macquarie Backpackers is the original and most awarded hostel in town! Fully renovated in 2017. We are your home away from home! See you soon!

We are within walking distance to bus stop, town, beaches and Koala Hospital! We look forward to seeing you soon! Port Macquarie Backpackers is the original hostel in town. It's situated in a beautiful heritage house which makes it more of a home then a hostel. Our staff are friendly and welcoming and are always willing to go that extra mile to make sure your stay with us is one you will remember! Port Macquarie is located half way between Sydney and Byron Bay but there is way more to Port Mac then it just being a stop over point. The iconic Coastal Walk is a must do, around 9km's of stunning coastline. Get a close up look at our gorgeous Koalas at The Koala Hospital, it is open daily and is free of charge! Why not jump on a sunset cruise on the beautiful Hastings River where you are bound to see not only a magnificent sunset but countless dolphins too!! Or perhaps a whale watching cruise. Port Mac has amazing beaches to kick back on and soak up the sun, Flynn's and Town Beach can be quite protected which makes learning to surf a dream! Try your hand at Kayaking or SUP! If crystal clear waters are your thing then Port Macquarie truely is the place for you. We love to offer advice on what to do and see to make sure you don't miss a thing! The hostel itself has a chilled out vibe and is a great place to go back to after a big day out seeing the sights. Relax by the pool in a hammock or sit on the verandah with a b**r and watch the world go by. We are located close to town and all the sights. And if your on the bus then it's the closest hostel to the bus stop! Our facilities are clean and we pride ourselves on that fact. Why not come and stay with us and see for yourself. Ben and the team are looking forward to hanging with you at Port Macquarie Backpackers.

🍌 WE’VE GONE BANANAS! 🍌😂

A MASSIVE thank you from the PMB crew and all our guests to IRONMAN in Port Macquarie for dropping off a HUGE crate of leftover bananas! 🙌🍌

Safe to say, they’re not going to waste around here! 😂

We’ve been handing them out to guests, chopping and freezing them ready for our famous pancake brekkies 🥞, throwing them into snacks… and basically just eating bananas all day long. 🍌🍌🍌

Our freezer is full, our guests are happy and we’re probably about 80% banana at this point. 😂

Thanks legends IRONMAN in Port Macquarie — we absolutely love being able to put perfectly good food to good use! 💛🙌

This time it was my turn for a reunion. Up in Cairns on a little family holiday and had the absolute pleasure of catching up with these Hostel legends while I was here. Jaydon, Manon, Leah and Mackie, so good to see you all again. Already looking forward to your next visit to PMB in January 2027!
By the way, my kids made me cut my hair 🤣

Our kitchen is the ♡ of the hostel! 🫶

It’s not just where the cooking gets done — it’s where the hanging out happens, stories are shared, laughs are had and friendships are made. 🥰

Some of the best backpacker memories start right here around the kitchen table… and some of those friendships last forever🫶🏼
