Cairns Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Spent a leisurely day yesterday, swim before breakfast then into the city for a dander. Stumbled across a great market on the esplanade and the Rotary were having a fun day so Maureen if you get a call to say your Dad has won the first prize in the Duck Race (not literally) then they may stay a while longer (the prize was a cruise and he put you...

6th Oct Arrived in Cairns at 5pm and got our free airport shuttle to JJ's- Anyone reading this don't stay here it's too far out of town even though they give free shuttles to and back from town. The weather here is well different from Alice Springs - Here it's hopt but very humid. Sarah was fine wqith this but i was struggling a bit, i definitel...

It doesn`t all go our way with this Travelpod thing you know. Cairns has a beautiful beach-side, man-made lagoon ideal for a cooling dip on these sun-drenched winter afternoons and the day we arrived...they closed it for 6 weeks for maintenance! So we`ll just have to make do with the pool at the hostel to soothe away the stresses of all that sig...

I apologise in advance for any spelling errors or poor punctuality in the following passage, this is due to me, Nick, writing it, not Fran. We arrived in Cairns on the Thursday, and after departing the airport it was soon obvious that we had entered a whole new climate. One that was not only incredibly warm but rather on the humid side as well. ...

This is goona be quick coz I'm ruuning out of internet credit! In Cairns now but leave tomorrow. Had a brilliant week and we are now both qualified scuba divers and can dive on our own down to 18 meters deep. It was pretty scary in parts but we crushed a few fears and it was all worth it in the end. The boat we were on was superb and the crew an...

We did a 3 day/2 night self-drive tour of Fraser Island. You get put together with 10 other people and given a suggested itinerary to get round the island, and then the rest is up to you! Fraser Island is the biggest sand island in the world and it has more sand than the Sahara Desert! We had a really good group - there were 9 blokes and 3 girls...

We landed in Cairns at around 5pm. I noticed from the air that there was a lot more forests and greenery in this part of Australia compared to our last stop. Cairns is surrounded by tropical forested hills on one side and the ocean on the other. Not too far out in this ocean around Cairns and for hundreds of miles either side in the worlds large...

Well, it's almost a week since i got to Cairns.. or at least when i ought to have arrived in Cairns. The only real hi-light apart from some of the people i've met here has, as always to be the diving. That said, everything conbined to try and make it not happen that way. I never thought i would put the words torrential and drizzle in the same se...

The Sugar Industry Museum was our first stop of the day after Mission Beach as we had decided that we drive through too many cane fields to not know how sugar is produced. We got to watch a very informative and cheesy film on sugar and then were let loose in the museum which was basically just a warehouse full of old tractors and sugar machines....
