“Highly recommend”
Hostel is in the middle of Cairns and close to everything. The bar, restaurant and the pool are great and a great spot to have lunch or drinks with friends. Restaurant serves really good pub food. Comfortable & clean rooms. 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!!
