Backpackers youth hostels blog

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!

Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Nomads Industry wishes Angie from Esplanade Backpackers Hostel in Cairns a very Happy Birthday today as she clocks in at 25.

Angie recently joined the Nomads Esplanade Cairns Backpackers Hostel Team after spending 5 months in Wellington at Nomads Capital Backpackers Hostel where she bought drunken chaos and uproarious laughter into the lives of all the staff and guests.

Angie left quite the legacy behind at Nomads Capital and tales of her drunken misadventures still echo in the hallways of this Wellington Backpackers Hostel. Angie, the reigning Queen of fancy dress, and her reception cronies would often wreak havoc on Blend Bar kitted out in some ridiculous attire as they chased boys in skirts and vodka with jaeger.

Sorely missed by her Wellington counterparts Angie is now leading the team at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel in Cairns where she is no doubt doing her utmost to lead those Cairns Backpackers into temptation..

If you’re cruising around Cairns today don’t forget to stop by Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel to wish Angie a Happy Birthday and to partake in what is sure to be another raucous party Angie-styles.

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Angie from all of the Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel crew in Melbourne!

Cairns in North Queensland, a travellers paradise! There is something for everyone to enjoy and the staff at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel can give you heaps of advice on how to spend your time.

At the moment our recommended activity is to go and see the whales whose yearly migration has started early. Normally they migrate between June and July but Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel staff were thrilled to learn that they’ve already been spotted.

They’re such curious creatures that they would swim within meters from you! At our Cairns Backpackers Tour Desk we know “Eco-companies” that can take you for a ride for a few days to see these amazing animals up close!

Come and see us at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel for the swim of a life time!!!
