Great location! Near the waterfront promenade and park. Stayed in family room, which was large and had a fridge in the room which was convenient. Very clean. Kitchen was well set up. Very quiet too, no loud people late at night, even on a Friday night.

"From the moment we arrived at Caravella Backpackers, I knew we had found something special. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze and offering great tips for exploring Cairns .Zenon the manager was amazing nothing was to hard and always willing t help with anything from information to booking tours and taxis The hostel itself is clean, spacious, and full of character — with a laid-back tropical vibe that instantly puts you at ease." "The location is unbeatable — right on the Esplanade, just steps from the ocean and a short walk to the lagoon, shops, and nightlife. I loved relaxing by the pool and meeting fellow travelers in the common areas. The free WiFi was reliable, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped and spotless." "What really sets Caravella apart is the atmosphere. It’s social without being overwhelming, and there’s a great mix of people from all over the world. Whether you’re chilling in a hammock, joining a group for a night out, or heading off on a reef tour, it’s the perfect base for adventure and connection." "I’ve stayed in plenty of hostels across Australia, and Caravella Backpackers is by far the best. Affordable, comfortable, and full of good energy — we would definitely come back!
