    1. There may be very small ants coming into the room. Be careful not to leave sweet things uncovered and placed, which will attract more. 2. 2. Pay attention to the battery power of the safe. If there is no power, it won't be able to be opened. If it can't be opened, go to the front desk. They will definitely help you deal with it. 3. The room is not soundproof. If you have prepared sleep earplugs yourself, there will be no impact at all. 4.The door of Room 5 is difficult to close.

    1. Both the front desk and the staff are very friendly. Kathy will help solve the demands you put forward. There is a very nice young lady at the front desk. When you don't know the place, she will take you there in person. A slightly older staff member sees that you are going downstairs to check out and helps take the luggage down the stairs. It makes people feel very warm here. 2. The rooms, toilets and kitchens are tidied up very cleanly. 3. This accommodation is arranged very warmly. 4. The check-in and check-out processes are arranged in an orderly manner and you can handle them by yourself. 5. The bed and the quilt are comfortable to sleep in.

    If you are visiting cairns this is a must stay! Absolutely beautiful facilities and the most peaceful relaxing vibe. Better than any hotel. I stayed in the “Queen delux room” and slept like a babe. Bed was so comfortable and having the balcony added that extra layer of magic.

    Excellent hostel! Beautiful rooms and common spaces. Beautifully arranged outdoor seating areas and pool. One of the very few hostels in which it is actually nice to spend the day. Very peaceful, small, clean and social. Probably the best hostel I've ever been!

    The door to Rm 5 was a hard close

    SO well appointed. The kitchen was amazing, new appliances and REALLY clean, as if staff came through to ensure that it was kept tidy- they didn’t just wait for guests to do it although there were really nice guests there as well.

    The wifi signal in certain outdoor spaces wasn't great, and those were usually the spaces with a plug. The outdoor spaces with the best wifi didn't have good plug access.

    This is the most beautiful hostel I've ever stayed at. Who needs to see the rest of Cairns? I could've sat in the courtyard all day! I really liked that this hostel had so may comfortable outdoor spaces to hang out at the outdoor shower was great! Kathy was also super helpful during my stay!

    I have loved it! Home away from home!

    The only thing that was a bit annoying was that I had to get my stuff out of the hostel at 2 o'clock on the day of check out. I wasn't allowed to stay longer in the hostel, which is not very convenient when you wait for your flight in the evening - maybe this is something you could approve on and let people use the chill out area. :)

    I treated myself to a doubleroom with balcony and what should I say, I would have loved to stay longer and already know where I'm staying next time. I always stayed at Globetrotters when I visited Cairns, they had to close and I was looking for a chilled and vibey place. This place looks like you are staying in the middle of the rainforest, with so much love to detail, lovely pool, perfectly set up kitchens, yoga mats and heaps of other gym equipment, even doggies around to pet, you can book tours and hire bikes. It's not a party hostel, it's more a home away from home! Also I had a sneak peak into a dorm room and even they look really cozy so it doesn't matter where you sleep. Would HIGHLY recommend. Also loved the chat to the owner lady (forgot the name) on my night of arrival and it's very unique to get shown around all the facilities by the stuff. Oh and the best thing I forgot: outdoor shower, holy moly!

    It didn’t feel all that safe to walk to and from town at night especially as a lone female. You have to bypass/ walk around a shopping centre. Also there are limited toilets/ bathrooms for the number of people - I ended up waiting a few times to use the bathroom

    The staff were very welcoming and even remembered me on my return from a tour 2 days later! The outside areas are very cute, unlike any hostel I’ve been too. Plenty of space to hang up washing. Rooms were clean and tidy. It has a very chilled vibe and not party like.

    There was a bit of confusion when speaking with the staff and some strict rules around holding bags at the property but it didn't cause any big issues for me.

    Nice property that feels like a resort for backpackers. Lovely pool and nice places to relax all over the property. Plenty of kitchens to choose from so it is never busy. Most people go on tours during the day so the property is pretty quiet during the day time.
