This place was lovely! Bedroom and kitchen were very homely, everything clean and well presented. TV room a bit small though. Has pool and laundry area. Great location- next to shopping centre and near main street. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Would stay here again More Info…

jessilas (from USA), May 2009:

Definitely the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Australia so far. It was very clean and everyone was super friendly. It’s fairly laid back (no partying at night), but I really enjoyed that. It was a perfect place to chill out, relax and hang out with awesome people from around the world. It’s located directly behind the mall in Cairns, and it’s only a 5 minute walk through the mall to the city center on the other side for shops and cafes.
