Our preferred accommodation venues usually offer a choice of dorm, double and twin share. The majority have full kitchen facilities, a TV lounge and internet.

Our Accommodation Guarantee
We guarantee a dorm bed at each stop along the route for the each night of the itinerary.
To secure your bed from the Stray allocation you must ensure you book via the Stray Mate App before the 'cut off time' which is usually 48 hours before check in. In peak season (October - April) we recommend booking your accommodation well in advance.
It's Your Choice
You are welcome to book your own accommodation but please note that we will depart each day from the Stray Accommodation so if you've booked somewhere else, just meet us there!
Single Choice Options
At some very special stops, we get so far off the beaten track there is only one accommodation option available. Here there is a set price for your bed and meals due to a lack of other places to stay or kitchen facilities.
