Bounce

Top choice in Cairns


Bounce is a cut above many Cairns budget spots, with tidy dorms and neat studio-style apartments with kitchen and balcony, sleeping four. The central deck, pool and games room are great for socialising. Fantastic freebies – including wi-fi, hot breakfasts, guided hikes each Friday and a Saturday BBQ – seal the deal.
