They offer free dinners which are quite easy ones but you can take the shuttle to downtown as it is a little bit away from the central. Btw, Brea is very helpful and you can get 10% off for booking tours.

The staff were friendly and helpful, nice relaxed atmosphere- the garden area was great to chill out in, hammocks and mini-pool.

funky, laid back atmosphere, i liked how the accomodation blocks were overlooking the yard, how you could look over to other buildings. It made the layout look better.

Very good value for money. Stayed in budget double and would definately recommend it to anyone wanting a private double. Although further away than other central hostels it is still only a ten minute walk to the front of cairns. Also had the added bonus of parking.

It has an odd layout, but once you get to know it its fine.

The property was a nice quiet place, but near enough to the centre to walk in. The free dinner offered at the Woolshed was good and made the hostel even better value. There were ants in the bedrooms and kitchen area which wasn't very nice. A free storage area for bags would have been appreciated, especially with such large amounts of travllers going on multi-day diving trips.

I enjoyed my stay here, the staff were very friendly and helpfull, all apart from the cleaning lady whose manner was quite rude. It has a barbeque for a true Aussie dining experience (though no oven) and a pool to cool off in after. Its only a short walk into town.

Good location, a short walk away from centre of Cairns. Hostel is beautifully presented with lots of outdoor space. Double rooms are really nice and reception really helpful. Great value for money.
