The place is very comfortable and quiet, it has a nice garden with a pool, surrounded by palm trees, the common spaces and the bathroom and kitchen are kept clean and tidy. My room was very nice, with a fan and a window, just enough to spend a good stay. The owners are very kind and friendly, on the trip to Cairns I lost the key to my suitcase and they had no problem breaking the lock and quickly fixing the problem. It is very well located, next to the bus and train station, next to a large shopping center where there is a good supermarket to stock up and about 10 minutes from the pier and the seafront, so you can do everything on foot. Thanks Tim and Paul I wish you all the luck in your hostel!! Really very nice!!

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!!

The staff are super helpful and accommodating. I absolutely loved the place in terms of value for money, it exceeded my expectations for a backpackers and the free shuttle heading to and from town was awesome!!! that mitigated the distance from Cairns central. Stayed in the four-bed room for girls. Met some wonderful people. The place felt safe and clean. I really quite enjoyed every bit of my stay so thanks Summer House!

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.
