About Asylum Cairns Backpackers Hostel

We are a Hostel set in a homely environment. Suitable for those looking for a quiet get-away and a slightly more mature social interaction (age range of guests is between 25+ & 60+years). All rooms are private while amenities are shared (Gender Separate available). Across the road from Munro Martin Parklands and close to Cairns CBD : 10-minute walk to Coles & Woolies and 5-minute walk to Dominos Pizza, with a 24-hour servo just around the corner for middle-of-the-night snacks. 5 minutes stroll up the street, and you’re right on the famous Cairns Esplanade. We also offer little creature-comforts from home, like Free tea & coffee and Wi-fi in the TV lounge & large comfortable sofas in the outdoor entertainment area. In addition, we have a salt-water pool for soaking in, to keep cool from the Tropical Heat. The entire property is surrounded by lush tropical gardens. To top it off, a weekly get–together held in the outdoor entertainment area– usually a Sausage Sizzle or Pizza Night for only A$3. We are a 12-minute taxi-ride from Cairns Airport. It’ll cost $25, while Uber charges anything from $18 to $28 depending on the time and availability of drivers. On-site, live-in, Managers ensure your safety & comfort as best they can.
