This Hostel is the only member of YHA Australia in Mission Beach. YHA Australia is part of the world's largest backpacker accommodation network, Hostelling International, providing more than 4,000 YHA hostels in over 60 countries.

YHA focuses on providing traveler’s with quality accommodation and a true backpacking experience. It is a membership based, not for profit association, with all profits going back into the hostels and the experience they provide. By being involved with YHA, the Hostel taps into a market that travels further, stays longer and spends more than the average tourist.

The Hostel has a courtesy coach which picks up and drops off to all main coach set down and pick up points in Mission Beach.

Mission Beach has an abundance of things to do and see for the backpacker including, snorkelling or scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, visiting Dunk Island for the day, skydiving and white-water rafting, etc. The hostel receives commissions for tours and attraction bookings & certainly looks after those who feel the need for a holiday adrenaline fix. www.missionbeachtourism.com

More accommodation can be easily built to provide for further guests. There is a 2000 square meter area of cleared land around the hostel.

The hostel could provide meals and establish a restaurant. The bar is underutilised and could be developed further. Entertainment nights have proven popular and could become a regular event.

More extensive marketing and coordination with student travel associations, brochures at transit terminals and networking with other hostels would add to the popularity of the hostel

Mission Beach is only a short drive to Cairns – 140 kilometres or 1 hour 57 minutes drive time, Treehouse hostel is perfectly positioned to capture more of the tourist industry that flock to Cairns annually
