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 Esplanade is on the waterfront it has no real beach, so unfortunately there is no accommodation on the beach in the city, 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.

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.

Browse available beds and be assured of a bed on arrival.
