Fun in the Sun.
By ,
This hostel is by far the craziest hostel I have ever stayed at. Its a little bit out of town, but its only a walk away. What made my trip was the guys who work there. The English Night-watchmen Nick and Robbie were really cool, as well as the English bus driver Colin. I don't know if they still work there as they were backpacking as well but without them I don't think it would have been the same. We used to come back from a night out and they would really look after us (Especially Robbie, nuff said!!!) The only downside to this hostel was the owner. I don't remember his name (I think its Brett) but everytime I saw him he was shouting at someone then pretending to be nice 5 mins later. But even he couldn't spoil my stay. The kitchen staff were really cool as well. There was this guy called Mum who was a bit sleazy but cool, as well as a lad called Tony who is possibly the funniest man alive! I would deffo reccomend it to anyone who is going to Cairns!!
