Gilligan’s Backpackers Hotel and Resort Cairns
the ultimate experience in backpackers hotel accommodation and leisure that will forever change your view of budget travel. Gilligan’s is a purpose built backpackers resort located in the city centre of magnificent Cairns, Far North Queensland, the stepping off point to the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. Gilligan’s offers a blend of traditional backpacker accommodation (with a few added comforts) plus three and a half star hotel rooms.

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, cook a barbecue, or dance the night away - all without leaving this holiday haven. And when it’s time to explore further a field, the absolute CBD 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!

Gilligan’s offers 4, 6 and 8 bed dorm rooms.
All with air-conditioning, ensuites and king-sized single beds and most rooms have balconies. The ensuites can be used three ways (doors separating the shower, toilet and vanity) so there’s none of the difficulties regularly experienced with too few communal facilities.
For those seeking a bit more comfort and privacy, our three-and-a-half star hotel rooms are complete with private bar fridge, television and lounge … yet still carry a budget price tag on a twin or double occupancy.
Configurations can be made up of King size double or two king singles.

Sip cocktails in the pool, Try your agility at beach volleyball, Browse over market stalls or experience total relaxation with a spa and massage. Perhaps you’d like to try all of that … and you can, without leaving your holiday haven at Gilligan’s Backpackers Hotel and Resort.
