“Superb Hostel”
Great location! Close to the supermarket and right in the centre of Cairns, just a quick walk to Rusty’s Market, the Esplanade, and the Reef Terminal.

“Great lunch spot”
Had to check-out Gilligan's whilst in Cairns and it was definitely worth it. Staff at the bar were so friendly and service was impeccable. We had a late lunch in the outdoor area overlooking the pool. Great casual spot for a cold beer and an easy lunch. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

“Live band & DJ venue!”
Gilligan’s does not cater for the mature age clientele in the resort hotel. You need to be b/n 18 & 40 to stay here. Could be under 45’s. Gilligan’s bar is very busy. Live bands and DJ entertainment. Bar food available. Dance floor area. Pool!!
