Awarded BEST BACKPACKER ACCOMMODATION 2008, 2009 and 2010 (Tourism Tropical North Queensland)

Finalist BEST BACKPACKER ACOMMODATION 2008, 2009 and 2010 (Tourism Queensland)

The Northern Greenhouse, located in Cairns, is a famous backpacker resort catering for budget travellers looking for a tropical getaway.

Described by the Lonely Planet as 'a cut above the other backpackers', the Northern Greenhouse prides itself on its world-class facilities and activities. Modern terrace apartments overlook a central swimming pool and abut a large wooden entertainment deck littered with cosy couches, internet stations and a pool table - a social hub to meet likeminded travellers and reminisce about your favourite travel destinations.

Embrace the free WIFI throughout the premises, enjoy the spotless kitchen facilities fit enough for Gordon Ramsay, get stuck into the beer on tap at the 6-Links bar, enjoy weekly movie screenings, start your day with a complimentary breakfast, wake to the aroma of fluffy golden pancakes on Saturdays, tuck into an Aussie BBQ fit for a King on Sunday evenings and start planning your fancy dress costume for the regular in-house parties.
