Staff were super friendly, facilities were decent and clean and the rates were good!

Giles Australia

Our cabin was clean, & had AC. Common showers & toilet were clean. Funky backpacker hostel.

Mwstebbins United States of America

Great staff! Super friendly and accommodating. Comfortable single room!

Kathleen Switzerland

Dougies staff went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. I loved the bungalow tent cabin with its comfy bed and nice strong fans. The place is well cared for which makes a world of difference for us travellers. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Diane United States of America

We just needed one night, the place is very nice and tidy. Kitchen has everything you need. Friendly guy checked us in at the bar. No crazy yelling teenagers during the night, fairly quiet. For some reason I really liked the feeling of the bedding, synthetic, but very soft and nice to the touch.

Anna Australia

The location was amongst rainforest & only 10 min walk to town or beach. The staff were so welcoming & very professional. With a special thanks to Heather. I went alone & made so many new friends. A really great crowd, very inclusive. So kickback & chilled. Look forward to going back already.

Karen Australia

The location is ok.not the closest to town. The facilities are good and an overall good experience. Very pricey though.

Sofia Australia

The room was comfortable and well set up. The hostel also looked very nice, with a beautiful tropical garden, outside seating, pool and bar.

Shannon Australia

Dougie's was a great spot for me - the staff were extremely helpful and had a very pleasant demeanor. The place was very clean! The showers were great and hot! It was an absolute pleasure staying there and would recommend it to anyone.

Melanie Australia

Loved our tent, was very comfortable and reminded me a lot of this style of accomodation inside the safari national parks in South Africa, would definitely stay here again.

  • Hi, I am travelling on my own. Is the bungalow to be shared with someone else or shall i have it for myself?

    Hi, The bungalows are based on twin share so normally you would be sharing with someone else. If you are planning on staying with us in the nest few weeks (*February) we would be happy to put you into a bungalow on your own as long as we have enough availability when you make the booking. Let me know if you have any other questions : ) Cheers, Heather

  • It used to be a campsite too. Can you still bring your own tent? Do you also still operate the bus to and from the airport and cairns?

    We currently have a few campsites available for people who want to bring their own tent. These are only available in our quiet season so these need to be booked directly.

  • Can a solo traveler book the bungalow? Will it be shared with one other person

    Our bungalows are based on twin share so normally you would be sharing with another person. Sometimes if it's quiet you may get the bungalow to yourself but this isn't guaranteed. We do have some gold tents which suit solo travellers.

  • hi, there are 2 of us and we want to try your typical bungalow accommodation. will we be able to get one of this bungalow to ourselves? also we are an elderly couple (55 and 62). is it only young people on site? thank you.

    The bungalows are twin shared so there would be the two of you in together on your own. We get all ages staying with us. I don't regard 55 & 62 as elderly!
