Frequently asked questions about hostels in Cairns
What are the top social spots in Cairns for hostel guests to meet other travelers?
The best place to meet other travellers is at the hostels themselves. The Gilligan's Backpackers and the Nomads Cairns are known for their social atmosphere. If you want to meet people outside of your hostel, head to the Woolshed, or the bars along the esplanade.
What’s the best budget-friendly way to reach Cairns?
The cheapest way to get to Cairns is by flying into Cairns Airport. If you're on a tight budget, look for budget airlines like Jetstar or Tigerair. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Brisbane or Sydney, but this will take a lot longer.
What should you know before renting a hostel in Cairns?
Cairns has a wide range of hostels, so it's important to do your research before booking. Consider the location, facilities, and social atmosphere. Many hostels offer free activities and tours, so check what's included in the price.
What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Cairns?
The best time to visit Cairns is during the dry season, from May to October. This is when the weather is warm and sunny, and there's less rainfall. However, the wet season from November to April can be a good time to visit if you don't mind the rain and want to experience the rainforest in full bloom.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Cairns?
Where in Cairns can you find the best areas to stay in a hostel?
The best areas to stay in a hostel are in the city centre, close to the esplanade and the harbour. This will give you easy access to shops, restaurants, and bars. The backpacker area around Grafton Street is also a good option, with a lively atmosphere and plenty of hostels.
