Excellent place to stay, probably the best I had in my whole trip around Australia. It was a quiet place but very conveniently located just steps away from the bus/train station. It serves a perfect amount of guests, not few so you can't meet people, but not many so it feels cramped. It also has several toilets, kitchens and common rooms distributed around the house, so it helps. But what shines the most about this place is their owners, the kindness and good will they put when interacting with the guests and helping them with every need they might have. Thanks for all your help!

Really nice and tidy place close to everything you need! Nice and clean comfy rooms. Loved the bed and that the place is really quiet during the late hours. Kitchen is good and clean. Overall the place is well maintained and looked after. There's a small area outdoors in the back where you can relax or have a swim in the beautiful pool. The place feels safe and the front door is always locked. Peter and Tommy were really nice and helpful. Thank you for everything. We had a great stay!

Highly recommend this hostel! The kitchen is spotless and the crew work hard to make the hostel as clean as possible. Not far from everything and free breakfast is just a bonus.

Caravella Backpackers

Ideally located in the scenic and quieter area of the Esplanade- away from the noise of the clubs, bars and traffic- but only an easy 10 minute walk to the main attractions, the Pier and Cairns City...

The hostel is so nice. There are huge communal spaces, the pool and also rooms and bathroom are so spacious. The bed are pretty comfortable too. It’s pretty chill and the vibes are really cool. Also, there are no noise from clubs or anything and I love that. The staff also was lovely! Definitely recommend it!!

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.
