kitchen facilities were excellent. however, unimpressed with the staff. we bought an accomodation and transfer package for magnetic island on the basis that it was saving us alot of money - we were told that the ferry from townsville to the island was 80$ return, this is not true it is 29$!! most of the staff are travellers so do not have indepth knowledge of the area which we found frustrating.

A little bit out of Cairns town but run a free bus back and forth until 3.30am so all good there, nice swimming pool and a good, big bar with free pool tables and a decent happy hour. Also volleyball courts and a big kitchen. The 'free meal' is advertised on their website as being a free dinner, but once you arrive they tell you it's a very small entree sized portion - so true, one night it was a small piece of garlic bread! Stayed at Global Palace backpackers in cnetral cairns who give a meal ticket for a pub down the road for a free dinner, which is an actual meal and you have 5 options to choose from! Similar prices to Serpent too - and a pool on the roof.
