Cairns was a great place to be be based to access the Great...
Cairns was a great place to be be based to access the Great Barrier Reef, Fitzroy and Green Islands, Kuranda, Port Douglas and the Daintree. The Cairns Aquarium was exceptional. The restaurants were also excellent. It was very easy to walk around town as everything was closely located to the boat piers and the Esplanade. The local people were laid back and very friendly.

We loved the casual lifestyle as a holiday destination.
We loved the casual lifestyle as a holiday destination. A good selection of cafes, pubs, markets. Footpaths and roadway around the Esplanade area being upgraded, very tidy. Love those old wide streets.

We loved Cairns, we also loved day trips to nearby places...
We loved Cairns, we also loved day trips to nearby places such as Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine. Atherton, Mossman Gorge, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Daintree are all worth the trip to see. So much natural beauty. We had our own hire car, which is our preference rather than going on guided tours. The bad parts were there were some areas in the Cairns main cbd which should probably be avoided due to there being a lot of homeless people. We also took the Skyrail and Kuranda train which was very expensive (we paid $445.00 for 2 adults & 1 child) and we were quite disappointed to find that on the day we went (a Wednesday) there were hardly any places open and the markets were closed. We drove back another day, and still found it quite disappointing and not at all as good as we remember it from our previous trip 17 years ago. This is a shame, and probably is due to COVID19. So I feel sorry for anyone who's business has closed because of this.

From $245 per nightApartment was situated in a great location for our needs. Secure underground parking was provided which was great and liked the fact we were a short walk to a small strip of shops to grab a coffee or easy dinner options. Staff member who checked us in was super friendly and helped us with taxi bookings and maps to get us to our first destination which was appreciated. Would definitely come back here again and recommend to family and friends.
