Castaway's Backpackers CairnsBook your bed

Just minutes from the city is Castaway's Backpackers. This cheerful hostel has a nice swimming pool surrounded by palm trees if you fancy a dip. If not, you can just relax whilst watching your favourite movie with a cup of tea or coffee in our TV and video room.

We offer clean, spacious double, twin, single and dorm rooms. Some have air conditioning units, while all have ceiling fans, fridges and a shelving unit with hanger space for your clothes.

All our spacious rooms have fridge, ceiling fan and quality clean linen supplied. Single rooms have one single metal bed with inner-spring mattress for extra comfort – no foam beds here at Castaway's.

Twin rooms have 2 single beds and the Double rooms contain a double inner-spring mattress. Our Dorm rooms are the best in Cairns and only have 4 single beds with inner-spring mattresses and absolutely NO BUNKS!
