Property Description

Providing air-conditioned private and dorm accommodation, with USB connectivity, funky styling and a laid back atmosphere, the Youth Shack is a home away from home in the tropical north of Australia. Under new management, and recently renovated, Youth Shack, has everything to offer!

Get your tan on atop the first floor rooftop sundeck after a day out adventuring or night out partying. Soak in the pool, relax on the sunbeds and catch up on that book you've been meaning to read or just have a few cool drinks in the bar making new friends or hanging out with old ones.
