Have Fun!
We just love it, looking after people on their travels, and we reckon we are pretty good at it. Between us we have more than 60 years experience in living and loving the Backpacking industry here in Cairns. Ultimate hospitality to the best of our tropical ablity. You will never forget your stay with us for all the good reasons. The Zanzibar is the heart and soul of Calypso, that's where you meet new mates and have a very chilled time making great memories and taking home funky stories...
Cleanliness
We pride ourselves on cleanliness, Kath, Jenny and Chrissie have been with us for years and years and they make sure that Calypso is as clean as their own homes! All rooms cleaned daily with fresh linen for a very comfy stay.
