(由 Google 翻译)就是这样。就背景而言,我刚刚搬到凯恩斯工作,需要一个地方住几个星期,同时找到一些长期的东西。我只是想要一些简单、方便通勤的东西。
TL;DR:便宜,大部分干净,维护得很差。很多长期居民大多都还好,但你会听到一些喊叫/大喊大叫。我个人没有遇到任何麻烦。外面的地区真的很穷,很简陋。现场工作人员很体面,管理层似乎冷漠。
好处:他们提供价格非常优惠的小屋一周优惠。基本上在这个价位上,你可以自己得到一间带小厨房的小屋(没有浴室),价格比城里的一些背包客宿舍贵不了多少。从这些方面来看,你挑不出什么毛病。这是一个很好的价格,而且很诚实——这就是你得到的。设施区干净且实用,淋浴有热水和适当的水压。酒店内设有 24/7 洗衣房,洗衣机和烘干机都可以刷卡。清洗和烘干各 4 美元。接待处有一家商店,出售基本用品,包括用于洗衣的洗衣粉袋。还有一个游泳池,虽然我没有尝试过,所以无法证明它的状况。小厨房设备齐全得令人惊讶。你会得到一个适当大小的冰箱(不是那些带有小冷冻箱的普通酒吧冰箱),这样你就可以拿一大堆肉并将其放在那里。水壶、烤面包机、插电的电炉(有点狗屎tbqh - 很难让一锅好的铸铁意大利面一直沸腾)、餐具、炊具、盘子、碗、杯子等。
缺点:整个设置非常陈旧,并且显示出它的年龄。小屋的外观和感觉都是 80 年代初期的。我的地板有一些危险的部分。家具又旧又旧。足够干净但急需翻新。空调确实使机舱凉爽,但很吵。小电炉质量很差。床架甚至冰箱门上都生锈了。我第二天就发现电器短路了。向接待处和管理员报告了两次。看门人把它打开,我们测试了所有东西以找到有问题的电路(其中一盏灯),他说他会修理一些零件,但尽管他追了经理几次,但在我逗留期间它没有得到修复(只是没有使用危险的灯)。浴室区有几个厕所缺少锁或配件,似乎从未得到修复。我的小屋在大雨中出现了轻微漏水。
丑陋之处:虽然官方规定最多可停留 28 天,但很明显有相当多的人是永久住在这里的事实上的租户。大多数都是善良正派的人,只是想生存——到了我的第二周结束时,我们在进出时互相微笑并挥手(工作人员也一样),但也有一些可疑的人物,有几个晚上有人大喊大叫。公园所在的区域位于“三女士”郊区的受诅咒的交汇点,这些郊区是凯恩斯最贫穷和最麻烦的郊区之一。公园周围的栅栏上缠绕着铁丝网,这并不是偏执。这是有原因的。 没有人从我的车里拿过任何东西,也没有试图进入我的小屋。我只真正感到过一次“不安全”(两个醉酒的人在我小屋所在的巷道里大喊大叫),但基本上,存在合理的问题,而且外面的区域是德罗中心。
关于无线网络的注意事项: 小屋内没有无线网络。您可以在接待处领取,那里有一个小休息区。电话信号良好,所以我只是拴着。小屋里有一台电视,可以收看常用频道

It is what it is. For context, I had just moved up to Cairns for work, and needed a place to stay for a few weeks while found something long term. I just wanted something no-frills that was reasonably easy commute.
TL;DR: Cheap, mostly clean, poorly maintained. Lot of long term residents mostly OK, but you get some shouting/yelling. I didn't personally have any trouble. Area outside is really poor, pretty rough. Staff on the ground are decent, management seems apathetic.
The Good: They offer very well priced one week deals for cabins. Essentially at this price point you get a kitchenette cabin (no bathroom) to yourself for a price not much more than some backpacker dorms in town. On those terms, you can't fault it. It's a good price, and it's honest - that is what you get. The amenities blocks are clean and functional, and the showers have hot water and decent pressure. There's a laundry on-site accessible 24/7 and the washers are dryers both take card. $4 each for wash and dry. There's a shop in reception that sells the basics, including detergent sachets for the laundry. There's also a pool though I didn't try it so can't attest to the condition of it. Kitchenettes are suprisingly well appointed. You get a proper sized fridge-freezer (not those usual bar fridges with tiny freezer box) so you can get a load of meat and keep it in there. Kettle, toaster, plug in electric hob (bit shit tbqh - struggles to keep a good cast iron pot of pasta on the rolling boil), cutlery, cooking utensils, plates, bowels, mugs etc.
The Bad: The whole setup is very tired, and is showing it's age. Cabins look and feel early 80s. Mine had some dodgy floor sections. Furniture was old and tired. Clean enough but was in desperate need of a refresh. Air con did cool the cabin but was noisy. Little electric hob was very low qulaity. Rust on bed frames and even fridge door. The electrics shorted on my 2nd day. Reported to reception and caretaker twice. Caretaker got it on and we tested everything to locate the offending circuit (one of the lights), and he said he'd get some parts to fix, but despite him chasing managers a few times, it didn't get fixed during my stay (just didn't use the dodgy light). Bathroom block had a few toilets with missing locks or fittings that never seemed to get fixed. My cabin had a minor leak in severe rain.
The Ugly: Though there's an official rule of a max 28 day stay, it's clear as day a sizable number of people are de-facto tenants staying here permanently. Most are fine and decent people just trying to survive - by end of my 2nd week, we smiled and waved as we passed each other heading in and out (same with the staff), but there also a few shady figures and a few nights there was yelling and screaming. The area the park is in is at the cursed meeting point of the "Three Ms" suurbs, which are some of the poorest and most troubled suburbs in Cairns. The fence around the park has had barbed wire twisted around it, and that's no paranoia. There's a reason for it. No one ever took anything from my car, not tried to get into my cabin. I only really once felt *unsafe* (two drunk people yelling in the laneway my cabin was on), but bascially, there are legitimate issues and the area outside is derro central.
Note on wifi: There's no wifi in the cabins. You can get it in reception, and there's a small seating area there. Good phone reception so I just tethered. There's a TV in the cabins with the usual channels
