The cost of one single bed in a 100-person dorm room has been advertised for rent at an insane price in what has been described as a grim indicator of Australia’s rental crisis.
For $350 – the price for a whole room in a nice suburb in Sydney or Melbourne – the Tequila Sunrise Hostel, in Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast, a “tenant” can secure one bed.The business is advertising the bed as a long-term accommodation option on room-share marketplace, Flatmates.com.au, where it was spotted by TikTok user Keira Ashley.She told viewers: “This should be f***ing illegal”.“This is absolutely disgusting, honestly. The rental crisis is so real.
“Yeah … Tequila Sunrise in Surfer’s is a 100 bed dorm. $350 for 99 roommates. Yeah nah. I just paid $75 a night in a hostel last weekend,” they wrote. Separate to the questionable set up, the business has attracted criticism from some visitors who were not happy with their stay. Many others however reported having a pleasant stay, saying they enjoyed the free meals, community layout and social activities.
