We pride ourselves on providing a comfortable and affordable accommodation option for backpackers exploring the beautiful region while always remembering our long beautiful history.

The Exchange Hotel is the second timber hotel to stand on the prominent site at the corner of Front and Mill streets in Mossman, a sugar town located about 75 kilometres (47 mi) north of Cairns. Built in 1934-35 to replace the first Exchange Hotel (c. 1896), which was badly damaged in a March 1934 cyclone, the second Exchange Hotel was designed to appeal to a tourist clientele.
