When thinking back of my time backpacking through Australia, the Northern Greenhouse is definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Swimming pool, large terrace, free wifi, located in a calm street but still in the "city" center, large and clean kitchen, theme nights- yes I had an awesome time in this hostel. The rooms are clean and... More

Although i rarely ever write reviews, i personally felt like the northern greenhouse deserved the time and effort, i would highly recommend this hostel, especially with only 6 per dorm with ensuite bathroom and lockers as week as our own small kitchenette so you don't have to store food in the main kitchen. In the middle of the hostel is... More

The location is great. Close to everyting, but the street itself is not that noisy (except when they clean the streets, but that doesn't take too long. The staff is wonderfull and very relaxed. They have no strict reception times, which is a blessing! You can check-in early or late, it doesn't matter. They have free pancakes (not the best,... More

I would go back to Cairns only to stay here! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are really huge and clean. They provide big baskets to store your stuff and lockers in every room. The beds are very comfy and have very big mattresses. There are heeps of freebies such as breakfast, pancakes on Saturday, BBQ on... More

I quite enjoyed my stay in the Northern Greenhouse. Happily situated in the centre of town, but by no means a 'party hostel'. A bit lively and very relaxed. Has a nice area to chill out and a good kitchen which can get a tad overcrowded at times. Bathrooms are ensuite which is nice. Big baskets under the beds for... More

Overall our experience at this backpackers was awesome - its clean, great facilities and rooms and its literally a two minute walk from the main street of cairns. My sister and bro and I decided to stay here because my sister had stayed before and loved it. The backpackers lived up to its reputation - it was awesome and we... More

Breakfast was free, there was a great free BBQ on the Sunday and the best pancakes to wake up to on a saturday! There where different trips arranged throughout... More
