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 center.

Amazing sums up this whole place, the rooms were clean the staff was super helpful and very kind they went out of their way to make sure you had all you needed, or where to go get it. The kitchen was clean and organized, very spacious and every one using it was respectful of others. The grocery store was walking distance and had all you could want, along with the markets close by. The AC worked, but was not needed.

Great hostel

A great experience. Rented a 3 bed apartment. Straight forward room. Pool. Laundry facilities. Staff very friendly. Plenty of chance to cook your own food or go into town. Great Location. Not the cheapest of hostels but the location is good so maybe why.

A little Cairns diamond of an accommodation

Great value and good amenities here. However it’s the super friendly and helpful staff that elevate this place above your typical hostel or hotel. We had an issue with our room and it was resolved quickly and beyond expectations (thanks Zenon!), don’t hesitate to stay here.

Room and bathrooms (in dorm and the outer bathroom), clean and tidy. Kitchens well resourced with cooking gear and utensils, and kept tidy and clean. AC in room good, not too noisy. Bonus having frig in 4 bed dormitory. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very good location
