United Backpackers Port Douglas

Check into paradise with United Backpackers Port Douglas…

In the northern tropics of Queensland is a beach town so beautiful, it makes your heart ache when you have to leave, so it’s a good thing there’s a United Backpackers to make your new home – even if it is for a short while!

Blessed with a 4 Mile Beach, palm trees, golden sands and blue waves lapping against your feet as you take a leisurely stroll, it’s a place to relax and unwind. Located right in the middle of town and just seven minutes from the beach is United Backpackers, a brand spanking new hostel that aims to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. The hostel takes great advantage of its location, with an outside pool, free BBQs and bike hire to help you explore a little easier. There’s even a poolside cinema with scheduled evening movies, a chilled bar with even chillier drinks, and an upstairs TV lounge with a deck and hammocks for complete relaxation, and free wifi in all common areas. Basically, it’s every overworked, over-travelled traveller’s dream.

Now to the important stuff – the rooms. As a brand new hostel, the facilities are top notch and sparkling
clean, and there’s a range of dorm and private rooms with high quality bed and bedding, a locker, air-conditioning, swipe card access and all rooms cleaned daily, and all for just $22 a night.

United Backpackers also offer the chance to help connect you with local employers if you’re on a Working Holiday and need to make some extra cash to fund your travels, so make sure you ask the friendly staff upon arrival.

You needn’t worry about getting to Port Douglas either, because if you’re staying three or more nights
(why wouldn’t you be?), you can grab the free pick up from any Cairns hostel, hotel or bus stop at either
11am or 6pm, and it’s only $10 if you’re staying one or two nights. The drive only takes an hour, and is a pretty spectacular way of preparing you for the surroundings of Port Douglas. If the successful Melbourne hostel is anything to go by, Port Douglas will be a huge hit so we do advise you book your rooms now, pack your swimsuit and get ready for some sun!
