We are designed for short-stay international travellers, and from experience, we have found that mature travellers over 60 & young families with children under 12 are not so well suited to our style of accommodation. We want to serve our guests to the best of our ability and do not want to disappoint anyone. Please bear this in mind. Initially booked this hostel for three days, but the atmosphere was so wonderful and relaxing that I ended up staying for nearly a month. There are no bunk beds—just regular beds—so it feels much more comfortable. Almost every room has its own fridge, and there are plenty of bathrooms and kitchens available, the place also very clean which adds to overall comfort. The garden is incredibly peaceful; you might not even want to leave once you settle in. There’s also a cool common area on the second-floor balcony with a red sofa where I spent most of my time. This is definitely not the typical party hostel full of loud drinking or drugs. Whenever I came in, people were meditating, doing yoga, reading, painting, or writing. If you’re looking for a party-all-night vibe, this may not be the place for you. The guests here have a different energy—more mature, quiet, and respectful. It’s also a very safe choice for solo female travelers. Another unique aspect is that the owners are often at reception, which makes the place feel safer, and they address any issues immediately. However, if you’re a digital nomad, be aware that the internet can be spotty in some rooms—especially in rooms 6 and 7, where it doesn’t reach at all. Even a Telstra hotspot wasn’t sufficient there. The internet in room 19 was much better, and it’s very good in the common areas. But working in the common area during the summer without air conditioning can be tough due to the heat. In the winter, though, it could be a great environment for digital nomads. It might be even better if they added two or three small coworking or meeting areas in the garden—then it would be a digital nomad’s paradise. They’ve created an incredibly peaceful atmosphere overall. If you’re looking for a calm, relaxing place rather than a party hostel, this is a wonderful place to stay. If you visit Cairns, don’t bother looking anywhere else!

Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here again.

Located in Cairns, less than 1 km from Cairns Station, Estilo Bed and Breakfast provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property features garden views and is 2 km from Cairns Convention Centre and 800 metres from The Cairns Civic Theater. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. We stayed 2 nights, one before our dive trip and one after. Divers den shop was literally 2 doors down. The place is super quiet, really clean. The room with and the room without private bathroom were equally nice. The breakfast was a nice touch! Host was accommodating as well, allowed us to leave our luggage and check out a little later because one of us had a pain flair up. Free laundry was also great. The ceiling fans everywhere help move the humid air around and the AC in the rooms were nice. We are at a Chinese Cafe nearby that was friendly and pretty good food. McDonald's is really close. Thank you so much!
