Global Backpackers on the Waterfront

On Cairns' waterfront in the Central Business District — minutes from the Esplanade Lagoon and a short hop to Michaelmas Cay. Cairns Night Markets and the Cairns Regional Gallery are within easy reach, making this a prime spot for backpackers and budget-friendly stays.

A laid-back waterfront backpackers hostel with air-conditioned rooms and private balconies. Rooms feature showers and hair dryers; a communal kitchen is available for self-catering. Expect simple, practical finishes and a social travel vibe.

Outdoor pool for cooling off, on-site tour and ticket assistance to book local trips, and wireless internet access (surcharge). Luggage storage and guest laundry keep travel light — wake up to sea-breeze mornings from your balcony.

A shared/communal kitchen lets guests prepare their own meals and swap travel tips over coffee.
