Castaway's Backpackers Cairns Reviews

This was one of the best hostels we have stayed at in Australia. It had a quiet and relaxed atmosphere which was great. All the staff was friendly and helpful. I'm happy that we chose to stay here.

Castaways was in short, brilliant! It's maybe a 10-15 minute walk to the city but this hostel is more than worth it. They run free shuttles too! The staff were incredibly helpful, the place was very clean and the kitchen had more than enough space, utensils etc (with none of the silly deposits that have to be made at other hostels for plates etc). There are no bunk beds, which is a dream come true when your used to 10 bed dorms! This hostel would definately suit a worker/more mature backpacker!

Superb hostel if you're looking for something a little quieter than those in the centre of town, but with a lovely laid back vibe, clean facilities, comfy beds etc. Highly recommended for those who are no longer 18 and wanting to party all day and night, whilst being only 10 mins from town and with courtesy shuttle buses if you can't take the humidity of the walk!

Only stayed one night so difficult to pass comment. Would have liked if the transfer into town had been directly to the Greyhound bus stop.

Helpful and friendly staff.

Nice clean, friendly hostel, has everything you would need

The nicest hostel I have stayed in during my time in Australia. Tumbs up... Even if they write they have lockers, they don't.

It was a very nice week at Castaway´s Backpackers! Especially the manager "Allen" is a nice guy... Vielen Dank ;-)

Fanastic hostel, really welcoming staff and a great frendly atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay here.
