This is the best hostel in Cairns. Clean, friendly, colourful! We had a twin room and that meant more space than average at hostels. The outdoor rainshower was a novelty! Free parking outside and perfectly placed near the trainstation from where we continued our journet. Would definitely stay again!

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.
