Gilligan’s Backpackers Hotel and Resort Cairns is the ultimate experience in backpacker’s hotel accommodation and leisure that will forever change your view of budget travel. Located in the city centre of Cairns, Gilligan’s is the stepping off point to the spectacular Great Barrier Reef and stunning world heritage Daintree Rainforest.
Gilligan’s offers a blend of traditional backpacker accommodation (with a few added comforts) plus three and a half star hotel rooms. At Gilligan’s all room types have private bathrooms and air conditioning. Split over four floors, each floor has a kitchen and newly refurbished television and breakout areas. Communal areas include a laundry, internet, lagoon pool with sandy beach and three large bars with nightly entertainment.
As a Gilligan’s guest you can play beach volleyball, laze in the pool, sample local cuisine, sip cocktails, shop, browse over local produce markets, catch up with friends over the internet, or dance the night away - all without leaving this holiday haven. And when it’s time to explore further afield, the absolute Central Business District location means you’re just a few minutes’ walk to Cairns’ waterfront lagoon, shopping centres, galleries, restaurants and nightclubs.
Holidaying has never looked so good!
