Hoey Moey Backpackers

Best hostel in Auz in a perfect location! 10 second walk to the beach and lots of shops/cafes/restaurants a short 15 min walk away. If you are looking for retail or hospitality jobs there are plenty in the area. The cleaners do an amazing job and are friendly. Frank who runs the place is the most helpful hostel owner you will ever meet! From before we arrived he was so helpful over email and made our whole stay relaxing and enjoyable. He also gave us some advice for finding regional work before/during our stay. You also get a discount for weekly bookings and some vouchers for discounted pizza/free beer & pool games over in the pub. We loved the hostel & Coffs so much that we ended up staying a total of almost 6 months! The guests are generally really friendly and we made some lifelong friends. Thanks for everything Hoey Moey!

Don’t stay here, it cost me $270 for one night in what I call a concrete box with no air conditioning, no bathroom sink no bedside table. I’ve stayed in a few budget accommodation but nothing compares to this, yes it was clean but it was old, you can hear everything from the rooms next door. Mattress was thin and only one pillow. There is a fan but it’s that old it looked like it was going to fall off. Everything was old and worn. They at least need more block out curtains to stop the light coming in to the room. Front desk gentleman was abrupt and seemed like he didn’t care. The pub however probably saves this place. Do yourself a favour grab a swag and sleep on the beach!

Although I never actually got to stay at Hoey Moey due to complications . The staff especially Lexi that helped me deal with the situation were nice, friendly and very understanding , she is a credit to the company! If nothing else stay for the warm welcome I’m sure you’ll receives

Great basic budget accommodation. Direct access to Park Beach. Excellent food at Hoey Moey Bistro. Rooms very clean, can be noisy with guests passing by your front door but everyone was very friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed here for almost 2 months. Rooms have their own bathroom so only shared with the people in the room, great environment, big kitchen and dining room, and just a few steps from the beach! Rooms are a bit too small and there’s still some problems with the wifi, but it’s the only downfall (and they’re already working on it). Frank is really nice and helpful, and (fun fact) they also offer pick up and drop off to the train and bus station! Also, if you’re staying on weekends, it’s quite noisy because rooms are next to the bar, so bring earplugs!

This was a great stay/location. Highly recommend

No air conditioning in room, very noisy at night

The worst place I have ever tried to stay in. No air con , no opening windows, pillows that smell of vomit, old hard mattress, no checks on resident noise and very overpriced for what you get. Lying here at 12.18am wondering if we will ever be able to sleep in preparation for another day's drive. Do yourself a favour and just don't stay here.....keep driving.

This was always our place to stay on road trips between sydney & Qld. But this last stay we noticed that rooms are very tired & the noise level from other staying guests has become unbearable. So sad as we love ‘Hoey Moey’ for its value for $$, quaintness, location & it’s restaurant/bar especially when there’s live music after a day of driving! Service is always great & housekeeping do an excellent job… We will be back when the curtains have been replaced & rooms have had a fresh coat of paint 🙏
