We arrived with our campervan very late, and going anywhere else was not an option since it would be too late. To get to the office you would have to walk on a path between the trees while trying your best to avoid the spider webs. The staff gave us the friendliest welcome that we have gotten anywhere in Australia... More

My friend and I stayed in Sydney for New Years and decided to travel north after for a dolphin swim adventure. Because of the busy season there wasnt many options for lodging. We decided on Melaleuca because of a referral. SO impressed! What a neat place! There was a baby kangaroo that they had raised on the property which we... More

Even in top locations we... More

The relaxed atmosphere, the surrounding activities (Berubi Pt is amazing), the gracious hosts, the tropical setting - absolutely great. Passed around photos at the office - the girls are so... More

Melaleuca Surfside Backpackers was a great place to stay. Getting away for the Easter break without wanting to spend a fortune, my boyfriend and I opted for the glamping option to avoid putting up our own tent in the dark. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and casual. Just want you want for your getaway. My favourite was their kangaroo Josephine... More

Amazing place to stay if you want a relaxing place with a great vibe that is a three minute walk to the beach. We stayed in one of the beautiful tree houses and very much liked the Thai inspired architecture of the whole place. The location is surrounded by beautiful bush and shared with Koalas, Josephine the Kangaroo and other... More

Easy walking distance to the beach and close to some pubs (which is always nice). The rooms where clean and I would stay there again. More

We used to go camping at Melaleuca all the time when before we were married and had kids. Due to the location and the use of the shared cooking facilities we used to ignore the car noise from the road that goes along the camp site.This was our first trip to try out camping again with our 3 month old...
