I don’t really like hostels and sharing spaces as I’ve been in way too many at this point. Nevertheless this place is my favourite in Cairns, and probably in Australia too. Sharing kitchen is always clean, enough and clean bathrooms, superb staff, people really respects the rules, quiet at night and absolutely comfy beds. Makes me feel like in a little home.

Really nice and tidy place close to everything you need! Nice and clean comfy rooms. Loved the bed and that the place is really quiet during the late hours. Kitchen is good and clean. Overall the place is well maintained and looked after. There's a small area outdoors in the back where you can relax or have a swim in the beautiful pool. The place feels safe and the front door is always locked. Peter and Tommy were really nice and helpful. Thank you for everything. We had a great stay!

We loved the hostel. It is perfect for spending some time in Cairns. It is better suited for younger people who like parties, as there are activities every night. They offer lots of day trips, so you will never experience boredom at this hostel. The dinner at the hostel was delicious.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
