Christopher Finnegan

01 August 2007 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the all you can eat buffet each night! Very cheap way to fill up! The rooms were very basic...our room was literally a set of bunk beds in a room and absolutely nothing else! It wasn't the cleanest of hostels, and the 'pool' was an algae ridden cest pit, but it had a party vibe and was a good place to meet people. It's a little outside the centre of Cairns, and will take a short walk (about 10-15 mins) to ge to the bars and shops.

16 December 2006 would recommend this property

Liked: Friendly resort with a better than average standard of room (air-con!) and a nice pool. Good all-you-can-eat buffet for only A$8 every night. Staff particularly helpful for booking trips, onward accom etc. Internet access a bit crap (badly maintained Macs) and the ATM never has any money in it, but these are minor issues.
