Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. There are plenty of restaurants & bars for meals & entertainment. There are also many over sights to see besides the reef. The Face rating below is poor & can't do this rating any justice.

Unique!
Unique! Tropical rainforest as an integral part of a modern city is unique, certainly in the English speaking world... Skyrail is a must, as is the Kuranda Scenic Rail (I recommend the Gold ticket). If you have never seen a coral cay before, go to Green Island. Half day or full day tour, you will not be disappointed!

We liked the shopping centre and YAYA Restaurant is worth booking for dinner and walking along to for breakfast. We were able to watch the IRON MAN competitions while we were having our breakfast and went for a walk along the Esplanade afterwards.

A beautiful somewhat sleepy and lazy town at the north-east corner of Australia. The city's importance is in being the gateway to Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest with multiple options of cruise, diving, snorkeling, forest walks and great food. I tasted Kangaroo meat for the first time in Dundee Restaurant at Cairns. Snorkeling or diving at the Great Barrier Reef is a heavenly experience. Cairns got only one stretch of read along the Pacific Ocean which is primarily meant for tourists - called Esplanade. It's beautiful with the scenic beauty, cleanliness, eateries & pubs and some shopping. The waterfront eateries near the fleet terminal are with absolutely breathtaking views. Australia tour is incomplete without Great Barrier Reef and Cairns.

From £118 per night
Spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation in a great location. It is located just a few minutes walk along the boardwalk from the restaurants, swimming lagoon and other activities in central Cairns. It is not as upmarket as some of the other Cairns hotels but it is excellent value for money and would be great for a family holiday as it has apartments with kitchen facilities and is just across the road from a childrens playground and water play area and a cafe. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Crystalbrook Bailey

From £195 per nightThe property is new, stylish, in a great location and walking distance to anything you may need or want in town. The small amount of staff working were all fantastic!Unfortunately due to impact of Covid in the tourism industry, the restaurant and cafe at the hotel were closed. However I did hear great reviews of the restaurant from Cairns locals. I look forward to returning and would definitely stay at Bailey again.
Mary Australia -
From £192 per night
Firstly loved entering the lobby area every single time due to the scent! Loved the spacious hotel room, high ceiling and balcony overlooking the gardens. I felt like we were the only ones in the hotel but it was obviously heavily booked. Our family loved the Backyard restaurant for dinner and were sad we couldn't get in a second night due to being fully booked.

Lilybank Guest House
Cairns
From £56 per nightThe hostess was wonderful, the breakfast was excellent and the historic home had a great deal of charm. There is a city bus stop close by and an excellent Thai restaurant within walking distance. Somewhat outside of Cairns but easy drive or bus ride. Everyone we met was friendly and the swimming pool was refreshing after a hard day of sightseeing!

This Hotel is in a great position to the city and casino. The breakfast was great. The staff were friendly and the room has all the nice things you would expect in 5 star room however our particular room was showing its age. I don't think I would stay here again as I think there are newer hotels which would be better value for the money.

Very close to the esplanade what makes for an amazing walk to the city, very cozy TV room. You can make tons of friends there, people from all over the world, always open to meet new people. Best hostel in Cairns!

From £78 per night
Location is OK but it is a long walk up to the main tourist places along the Esplanade. I think the room is OK value for money as this was not a top price hotel. (You get what you pay for). Bed was fine although an extra cover would have been handy as I got cold during the night.
Neville Australia -

We always stay here in Cairns. Good value for money and very comfortable. Lovely pool and gardens with a Balinese vibe. The staff are always welcoming and accommodating, even with flight delays. We love the restaurant, superb Balinese food. Close to town and handy to airport.
