VRAIMENT, sans hésiter, MEILLEURE AUBERGE ! Propreté irréprochable, personnels très sympathiques, cuisine/douches pratiques! Coin jardin + piscine incroyable. Comme l’impression d’être dans une maison de vacances. Et surtout la TRANQUILLITÉ, LE CALME. 10/10 Merci pour ce superbe séjour ! Si je reviens à cairns ça sera ici sans aucune hésitation !

Loved my stay at Mumma’s. Although no organised events I found it to be a lovely social hostel but also chilled. The kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned regularly and staff were great :) The only negative I would say is that there weren’t many lockers that you could actually lock in the dorm I was in

The place is very clean and the staff were nice. It’s in a great location, easy to walk wherever you want to go. The only thing is that it’s not a very social hostel, there’s no events on, and the light is always off in the bedroom which gets a bit annoying when trying to do anything in the day as you can’t tell whether people are in there or not. A lot of our packing was done outside the room, or by torchlight.

Solid place to stay for a couple of nights, the minimal bathroom situation was slightly inconvenient, but everyone was pretty considerate and quick with the showers. Good location, and staff were great. It was Freezing in the room I stayed in because the air con was cranked, but they do provide blankets which was nice. And the kitchen is pretty small to the amount of people staying there, but over all decent and I would stay again.

Loved the spacious rooms and bed were very comfortable. Perfect kitchen area and good free breakfast. A bit social but mostly long term stayers.

Excellent value for money, free breakfasts and air con in the rooms were great. Not too busy and most people seemed to be long term. Not loads of bathrooms or kitchen space but they were generally clean and tidy, and since it wasn’t too busy that was fine. Great location, 10 minutes to the esplanade. Free towels and curtains in the room which was a bonus. Good little hostel :)

The facilities and location are pretty decent but the vibes here are really off. Not really any english speaking people and people arent really interested in socialising with anyone outside of their groups/not very welcoming to new comers. The staff also contributed to this issue. Only one of the girls who cleaned during the day was nice, the other two girls that worked here were pretty rude.

I had a lovely time here. The rooms were airconditioned to a lovely temperature and there were curtains on the beds which is very unusual for Australia. There was a nice pool too. The staff were lovely and helpful with all of my questions. However, I did find that the kitchen and living space got very hot, with no aircon and doors open. This did also attract mosquitos, and other bugs. There were also only 2 toilets and 4 showers on the ground floor, which sometimes meant queuing for a bit in the...

Best hostel I’ve stayed at in cairns, super friendly and chill atmosphere. Feels nicely tucked away from the city despite being quite central. Staff of course were the best and facilities got everything you need and a nice balcony seating area. Be sure to use as many tools as possible if you’re fixing your van up out front I can assure you they, for some reason, have everything you need.

Wonderful place to stay, felt super clean and there were curtains on the beds! Only thing was the girl who worked reception at night was unnecessarily rude to so many people, to me and other interactions I observed.

Really enjoyed my stay here, actually extended after initially only having booked for a couple of days. It’s super clean and has very much of a family vibe. It’s not a party hostel but you can easily find people to go party with. Would recommend!
