About
Happy Days in Tully is a well-regarded hostel serving backpackers exploring Far North Queensland's natural attractions. With a solid 4.8-star rating from guests, it's positioned as a reliable base for budget travellers navigating the region. Tully itself sits in the heart of rainforest country, making it an ideal launch pad for waterfall chasing and outdoor adventures. The hostel suits independent travellers and small groups keen to explore nearby highlights including Hell's Gate, Josephine Falls, Millaa Millaa Falls, and Ellinjaa Falls. The Big Cassowary nearby adds quirky roadside appeal typical of regional Queensland. The town offers a low-key, regional atmosphere without the party-focused energy of coastal hostel hubs. Guests appreciate practical accommodation and friendly staff who know the local area well. For backpackers prioritising access to natural attractions over nightlife, Happy Days delivers solid value. The location makes sense for those ticking off waterfall walks and rainforest experiences rather than beach culture. Solo travellers will find it straightforward and welcoming, though it's worth checking the website for current room configurations and facilities before booking.
