Accommodation in Cairns

Cairns has a huge choice of accommodation, from budget backpackers hostels and B&Bs to camping, hotels and upmarket resorts. In the low season from early January till Easter you can often find great standby rates, giving you luxury accommodation for the price of budget accommodation.
Although the Cairns Esplanade is on the waterfront it has no real beach, so unfortunately there is no beachfront accommodation right in the city, but the Cairns Lagoon makes a good substitute for a beach with it large pool and grassed areas for sunbathing and ball games.
Palm Cove is a northern suburb of Cairns which is a very popular place with beach lovers as it has many resorts either on the beach or near the beach, although not a lot of budget accommodation choices in this area.
Backpackers and other travellers looking for budget accommodation will be pleased to hear that no less than three Cairns backpackers hostels were in the top three of best rated hostels in Oceania which includes Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, by Hostelbookers.com .
This shows you what a great range of quality of budget accommodation there is in Cairns!

Budget / backpackers accommodation

Cairns has a huge choice in backpackers hostels and they are all over town. Some of the more homely and quiet hostels are found on the inland side of the railway station / Cairns Central shopping centre.
In the dorms of hostels closest to the night clubs it might be harder to get a good night sleep as by the time the last one in the dorm comes home from the nightclub the first one is getting up for their reef trip again.

What's the quickest and easiest way to find budget accommodation in Cairns?

You can of course Google for budget accommodation but you spend a long time surfing through different websites, which are all designed differently and often for good looks, and it can take considerable time to find out the practical basic information of what the room prices are, what the facilities are, what the location is, and what previous customers thought of the place.
Whenever we travel anywhere we use a comparison website that shows you all the choices available, together with prices, location maps, and guest reviews, laid out right next to eachother, so it is easy to compare and make a choice.
