Great location for a visiting around this area. A friend and me stayed here for 4 nights last week. Our room was clean with nice beds, the girl on the counter was so helpful and nice. The walk to the shops and lagoon was really short, also was handy when walking home from the pubs. We had all our excursions... More

Stayed here at the beginning of our backpackingjourney through Australia, which was a huge misstake! The rooms are crawling with ants and bugs of all sorts and cockroaches are everywhere in the kitchenarea. We are not talking the small kind... After a few days we got red spots on our arms and legs, turns out it was bedbugs....Hideous bathrooms which... More

Known locally in Cairns as Koala Back-packers this establishment claiming to be a Resort is anything but. They should not be allowed to advertise as they are currently, More 1 Star Quality than 3. Dirty bathroom, Dirty interior and exterior facilities, free wi-fi (If you like the walk to the local McDonalds for it), Kitchenette should be advertised as 'Microwave... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid November, 3 adults and 2 kids. The 2 bedroom unit was clean and tidy albeit a bit dated. A small kitchenette provided everything we needed, extra large bathroom and generous bedrooms ( 2 singles in 1 room, and a queen and a single in the other). The location is fantastic!!! 2 blocks...

The photos should be overlooked as they are completely misleading. To call the premises a Resort is a joke. The whole unit is disgracefully filthy, even to the point of used condoms on the path surrounding the pool. Evidence of rodents mean that the rubbish bags throughout the bar area are a breeding ground for further filth and livestock. We... More

Yes, resort is not the best description. It is a convenient basic hotel with fairly clean rooms but the outdoor areas and the pool are in great need of a clean-up and renovation. A quick dip in a hotel pool is something to look forward to in the hot weather but I certainly did not feel like going in. The... More

This is no resort the photos are totally untrue, it is dirty, very run down and you would have to be a total idiot to venture into that POOL! The staff were very pleasant. The location is convenient for downtown Cairns but there is some rather colourful establishments around. Not cheap for what you get, look around there is MUCH... More

The staff were extremely friendly and willing to help with any questions or concerns that I had. You couldn't ask for a better location, everything you need is within a 2-10 min walk. The hostel itself was a bit dated and could use some work but for the budget traveller it has everything you need. Plus each room has a... More

Dreadful accommodation. Everything was dirty, beds, sheets, pillows, etc etc etc. It was obvious that the beds had not been changed and rooms had not been cleaned following the exit of previous guests although the bed was made up as if it had been changed. A rotten fish was found in the freezer part of the fridge. It was an... More
