I liked many things in YHA such as: tidy rooms, free pancakes for breakfast, activities scheduled every evening (Cheese& wine, movies under the starts...). Nice and young atmosphere, perfect to meet new people and arrange rideshares or road trips. Nice pool, open from 9am to 10pm so you are able to use it the entire day. The kitchen is big and perfectly equipped, so you can cook whenever you want. There's also a free-food shelf where con you grab and leave food with the other travelers. It's located in the city center, next to the Central Cairns mall and distance walking to the Lagoon.
