Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel, Cairns
Hey, this is Stephie, Esplanade’s temporary receptionist. I’ll be leaving Cairns this week, but Angie wanted me to share my experience at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel with the rest of you first.
My fave thing about Esplanade Backpackers Hostel is the location right on the water front and across form the lagoon which is beautiful and free to everyone! Around the lagoon is a large grass area where everyone hangs out during the day. Over the weekends they have live bands on which are usually really good. In the six weeks I have been hear I have only heard one band I didnt like and that was a man singing Folk music, God Love him! All along the water front are BBQ’s aswell which again are free to use!
The rooms in Nomads Esplanade Youth Hostel are really quite nice as long as you’ve got a group of clean people sharing with you. They are quite spacious with your own personal locker that you need to supply your own lock for. I’ve got a really nice room and can see the water front from it.
Another great bit ’bout the youth hostel is Wednesday Pizza Nights, which is sponsored by Cadences Night Club. You pay three dollars and you get a large Pizza from a pizza company begining with D and ending in o’s. Then after everyone sits around the pool and eats their pizza we all go to Cadence for Power Hour. If you’re from Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel you get in for $8 and its all you can drink for 1hr.
Well, I’ll be heading down the East Coast now in an RV. Angie says it might be a good idea for the rest of you to stay off the road, but I think she is only joking. Just remember if you want to a fun time here in Cairns, stay at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel!
