Great stay, short term or long!

On arrival I saw how many social and lounge areas there are and how close the location is to everything in Cairns City!
The staff are awesome, the shared kitchen is big, and lounging by the pool is a favourite.
Sharing a room with four people has been pretty easy too, I’ve had some good dorm mates who are all respectful of sleeping hours.

GREAT HOSTEL

What a lovely hostel to stay at. We wanted to stay somewhere close to the port as we have friends working on the cruise line so location was perfect, staff were so lovely and friendly and really loved the kitchen space compared to other hostels we’ve stayed in. 10/10 recommend to anyone travelling through the Cairns area :)

Right in the centre of Cairns and walking distance to everything you could possibly need!

A very nice and convenient place to stay! The location is fantastic, you are right in the centre of Cairns which means you are walking distance from all the good bars, restaurants, shops and the beach. The rooms were nice and clean, the staff clean them daily and are very friendly too. The girls on the reception were very friendly and very helpful. Every day there is a new event: killer pool, beer pong tournament, movie night, bbq night and various others so you wont get bored. The bar area is a great place to meet new people and the barman is very friendly and does love to make cocktails! They also have a swimming pool! A great place to get rid of that hangover in the morning ;) overall its a fantastic place to stay and will 100% recommend to all!
