Cairns is officially opening June 2nd

Little Drifter Cairns is opening June 2nd — a fresh new stay in the tropics for reef-chasers, rainforest rovers, and anyone chasing sunshine and stories.

After a multimillion-dollar design-led refurb, our high-end neighbourhood hostel brings together boutique comfort and tropical energy. From light-filled shared suites to private rooms with thoughtful touches, every space has been created for connection, adventure, and everything in between.

Whether you’re diving into the Great Barrier Reef, cooling off at the Esplanade Lagoon, or hopping between local bars and cafés, Little Drifter Cairns is the place to stay when you want it all within reach.
