Caravella Backpackers
149 The Esplanade, 4870 Cairns, Australia – Excellent location – show map
Very large room with own bathroom. Having a little fridge in the room was also great. Located right on the Esplanade, just a 10 min walk to the night market area, so it is out of the hustle of the main Esplanade area. Hostel common areas light and open; very quiet.
Australia
