Gilligan's Hotel & Resort is a large accommodation and entertainment venue at 89 Grafton Street in Cairns City. The property brings together hotel rooms, shared dormitories, dining, bars and nightlife, giving travellers a range of ways to stay, eat and spend an evening without moving between venues.
Accommodation covers private hotel rooms and shared dormitory rooms. Hotel rooms include private bathrooms, air conditioning, a refrigerator, television, desk and tea and coffee facilities, with king or twin bed arrangements available. Some private rooms include balconies. Dormitories are offered in several sizes, including four-, six-, eight- and ten-bed configurations, with king single bunk beds, personal lockers and ensuite facilities. Mixed and female-only options are available in selected room types.
The room layouts suit different travel styles. Private rooms provide a quieter hotel-style setting away from the nightclub, while selected dormitories are positioned close to the club area for easier access to the venue's evening activity. Other shared rooms are located in a quieter section of the property. Balconies, ensuite bathrooms and locker storage feature across selected dormitory categories.
Outside the rooms, the property has a resort-style swimming pool, restaurant, several bars, two nightclubs, a sports arena and a gaming lounge. The overall character is social and energetic, with accommodation sitting alongside food, drinks, live nightlife and group entertainment. The restaurant provides an on-site dining option, while the bars and clubs extend the venue's focus into late-evening entertainment.
Gilligan's suits travellers who want accommodation connected to a busy social setting, including guests choosing between shared dorms and private rooms. It also has facilities for venue bookings, functions, table reservations and bar bookings. The combination of room types and on-site entertainment makes the property suitable for short stays, group occasions and travellers looking to meet others while exploring Tropical North Queensland.
