I had an incredible stay at this hostel ! The location is simply perfect, close to everything you might need. The kitchen is a real asset, very well equipped with even an oven ! The pool with its hammock creates a very relaxing tropical atmosphere. Plus, the rooms are nice and comfortable, adding to the overall experience. But what really makes this place special is the convivial atmosphere between guests and the staff: always there to help with a smile, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this youth hostel to anyone looking for a memorable stay !

Zenon and his team took great care of me. Ask them to hook you up with Jeremy for a tour of the Daintree Rainforest. You will not regret it. Place is a couple of minutes on foot to central Cairns. Malaysian restaurant out front was very good. Check-in is possible after hours. Keys will be placed in a safe. Checkout and bag storage was flawless. Would definitely stay again.

I had a (self-inflicted) problem on arrival, and the level of hospitality of the staff to sort this out was overwhelming. Thanks! Everything else was fine. The room was excellent (cleanliness, temperature, comfort). The outdoor dining area and the food were great. I had several meals, and spent a lot of time there. The area is nicely set up to meet fellow travellers. The frequent shuttle bus into the town Centre is great, and I used it multiple times. I can thoroughly recommend the Summer House.

All hostels in Palm Cove

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.
