Gilligans Backpacker Hotel, Cairns

Gilligans Backpacker Hotel Cairns Info

Contrived with the budget traveler in mind, this unusual accommodation may have forever changed the meaning of the word “backpacker.” Located in the center of Cairns, the far north Queensland launching point for the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, Gilligan’s is literally located near everything including The Esplanade and only moments away from the Cairns Central Shopping Center and the Railway station, but that doesn’t mean that travelers will necessarily wish to leave. The hotel touts a 1000 capacity open-air beer hall. Whether patrons are looking for a place to stay while visiting the sites, chill out by the pool during the day before hitting the very popular night-club areas, or simply get some shopping done while not spending a fortune on accommodation, Gilligan’s Backpackers Hotel and Resort is guaranteed to please travelers in any budget range.
