Tropic Days

Top choice in Cairns


Tucked behind the showgrounds (with a courtesy bus into town), this popular hostel has a tropical garden with hammocks, pool table, fresh linen and towels, free wi-fi and a relaxed vibe. Its Monday night croc, emu and roo barbecues are legendary. Air-conditioning is $1 for three hours. Free bikes for guests' use.
