Freedom Cairns is freshly refurbished and radiates modern tropical vibes with plenty of relaxing chill-out areas and state of the art amenities. The property is located right in the heart of town, giving you easy access to all of the great local attractions. If you feel like going for a swim, we’re right across from the Esplanade Lagoon, or if taking in the ocean breeze is more your style we’re only a short walk from the pier. With nightly entertainment, activities and plenty of thoughtful touches, Freedom Cairns is the best place to stay while you explore Cairns.
Rooms
Our rooms are more than just a place to rest your head. They’re your home away from home. Rooms are equiped with privacy screens and every bed has a personal shelf with integrated power, light and a USB charging station. Everything you need to chill out after a long day, hang out with friends, or plan your next adventure.
Amenities
At most hostels, amenities come at a price. At Freedom Hostels we want to be your home away from home. You’ll get all top quality amenities on a backpacking budget.
