We arrived in Cairns early evening and got a taxi to our hostel which was about a 20 minute walk from the centre. It was a really nice hostel and was quiet with it being a bit out of the centre of town. The hostel ran regular buses into town but it wasn’t too bad to walk either. That night we went to the Woolshed for dinner as this was …
Cairns - half way through 4month
After a 2day delay at Townsville the coaches were back running. The coach pulled into Townsville 2hours late but everyone still cheered as this was the first coach going North for 2days. After a non-stop 5hour coach ride, I arrived in Cairns, my finally destination on the east
coast.
The next morning I got up at 6am and headed to the …
Hopefully, we'll all meet up in Cairns!
Winter has definitely arrived in Sydney, with some of the coldest and wettest weather in years, so we've organised to meet up with Bobby and Greg, and Mike and Bev in Cairns on the 7th July.

It lived up to its' expectations by being small, cosy and friendly (they even trusted us with our key and didn’t …

“nice quiet and cheap hostel”
Reviewed Mar 26, 2012
cheap hostel, small dorm rooms, very clean, friendly staff, FREE WIFI. 15-20min walk to city but nice to be further out as quiet and not a party hostel. enjoyed my stay here. rooms can be very warm if you dont pay the $1 per 3hr aircon.

“Nice Place, Friendly People”
Reviewed Apr 15, 2011
It's not very close to downtown, but that is pretty much the only downside. (They try to make up for the distance with a free shuttle to the city center at different times in the day). Otherwise, it's cheap and the free dinner is nice, even if the options never change.
