Hotels near Cairns Airport - CNS, Cairns

id avoid cairns all together go some where else and spend your hard earned money i wish i didgo into the township for a walk and listen to cll out to each other from street to street and couples abusing each other constantlly push bike riders kicking over rubbish bins for fun give it a miss or stay in the high end of cairns. deffinatley not food takeaway is tasteless where we stayed the night markets on the esplanarde were only shops open late not worth the walk the lagoon was being worked on while we were there another dissapointment

For our family, location great. Short trip from airport, quick lunch at Red Barron Hotel, changed for trip to venue at Redlynch. We were only there for a few hours but found it to be a 2 star rating. I would not book this again.

Cairns is a great holiday destination it has so much to do, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rainforest , it is a great place for everyone, and it has really good food, coffee and great customer service.

We loved Cairns. It was very clean and tidy. Workers were out early every morning making sure everything was perfect. There is so much to do and see. Lots of restaurants and cafes. Everyone we tried was good.

We had 5 nights in Cains, and saw lots. I absolutely loved the Kuranda Tour (up with the Sky Rail, walk around Kuranda, Rain forestation with Army Duck Drive and Aboriginal Dance etc as well as lunch, coming back with the Scenic Railway). We then also did 2 Island Trips, one to Green Island the other to Fitzroy Island. Fitzroy Island was amazing for snorkelling, we saw lots of colourful fish, coral as well as green turtles. Green Island was not as good for snorkelling, possibly because of the low tide?? Definitely didn't see as much there. Walking around Green Island was very nice. I would like to do all the Fitzroy Island Hikes as well, unfortunately I had a sore foot but definitely next time :) I definitely highly recommend Cairns for any age group. Cairns itself is such a beautiful coastal town with yummy restaurants along the pier. Book tours early enough, since they get booked out very quickly!

Used local buses and taxis to get around. Every driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There were lots of great tours available. We went to Kuranda scenic railway and skyrail, city sights tour, Australian armour and artillery museum. Great pubs to eat in were Dunwoody's and Cock and Bull. Friendly locals who could not do enough to advise and help us.
