Cairns City Backpackers Map

Address:

We provide a 24 hour check-in service but you need to let us know in advance if you are going to arrive outside reception hours so we can organize your key (if you are arriving on a 2am tiger flight make sure you book your first night for the same date as your flight DEPARTURE). Our reception is open from 7.30 am till noon, and between 4.30 pm and 8 pm.

We do not have our own bus but there is a shuttle bus from the airport which costs $5 a person from the airport. This is a special discounted price given to guests of our hostel.

The shuttle bus runs during the arrival time of all flights. For domestic arrivals, please exit the airport building and go to bus parking zone (bus bay 6) for the Cairns airport shuttle bus. For the international terminal, there will be someone waiting for you in the arrivals lounge, please wait until they come. If you have booked the shuttle bus and it is more than 15 minutes late, please call Cairns Airport Shuttle. We can organise the return shuttle bus for you (at normal non discounted rates).

A taxi will cost you about $22 from the airport and $10 from the bus terminals.

If you wish to walk from the bus terminals we are a 15 minute walk to the premier bus terminal and a 30 minute walk to the greyhound terminal (go straight down Spence Street, turn right into draper street and follow until you see our hostel).

If you are coming by your own vehicle we are behind cairns central shopping centre.
