What Guests Said About Cairns:

It is many years since I was last in Cairns and I was disappointed with the City Centre. When you moved away from the Esplanade, which was modern and clean, the city streets and buildings looked old and tired. Bus transport was good but the City Taxi's were unreliable and too few. On several occasions locals said they had waited over an hour after phoning. Cairns city basically services the outlying suburbs, towns and Islands. It is the base for tourist expeditions. However, once you leave the city fringe the Northern beaches, the Rainforests and Islands are beautiful. The Aquarium in the city is spectacular and very well managed. A trip on the Skyrail cable-car and Kuranda train are a Must See!

Hartleys crocodile farm was excellent and the sky rail were the highlight. Reef wasn’t the same as I saw years ago maybe global warning or a different location. Seafood on the Prawn Star is the spot to eat. Drives around Cairns area was spectacular. Cairns is a beautiful city and the council and community need to be congratulated.
Heather Australia -
Cairns is a phenomenal destination!
Cairns is a phenomenal destination! All the people we met were so hospitable and made our holiday special. Definitely hire a car for a couple of days and do the Waterfall circuit, and a drive up North to Port Douglas. The coral at Fitzroy Island was great and so close to the shore. There are so many restaurants on offer - was fantastic. The Esplanade and surrounding bushlands are so beautifully kept and a pleasure to walk around.
Alison Australia -
Great place to have as a base if you wanted to travel around...
Great place to have as a base if you wanted to travel around the area. Definitely would recommend a car as you would be spending too much on tours and a car rental is the better option. A tourist destination that is geared up for tourism. Not sure on public transport for the area. Best to stay in and around the Central part of town for restaurants. Walking distance to the ferry service in the city centre. If you prefer to just relax I would recommend palm cove or Port Douglas.
Leanne Australia -
Nice city to enjoy.
Nice city to enjoy. Lots of activities - some not cheap, though worthwhile. Beautiful gardens and very clean . The reef trips are excellent, as is the deep sea fishing. Cafes and restaurants are all surprisingly good. Great service and superb food.

Cairns is a great launch pad for the Daintree, the Atherton table lands, the reef and beaches and activities to both the south and north. There is so much to see and do in the region and we’d be keen to get back and take in more using Cairns as a base for day trips or as a return point for longer ventures away.

From $174 per night
the property was great! Check in was quick and simple and the staff were friendly. We had a superior room and it was lovely, nice little view of the Cairns Esplanade and water. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We only stayed as an added overnight stay before our flight as our flights were changed and we are glad we booked with pacific hotel cairns for the quick stop over. We had our 4 month old baby and the staff were wonderful and had a portacot ready for us in our room.

I love perfection and this is it. It was immaculate. Everything close by. Restaurants, walk on the park or along the esplanade, the pier where restaurants and bars,ferry terminal to take you to the Great Barrier Reef or to the other islands tours and forgetting the casino is downstairs on the other side of the hotel with a few lovely restaurants. You can have a wedding birthday or other events in their great ballroom and stay there. Love it.
Meresiana Australia -
From $158 per night
Location great - short walk to restaurants, esplanade and lagoon. The hotel makes you feel so welcome and is so much more personal and cosier than the big modern blocks of hotels seen nowadays. The pool area surrounded by vegetation in the centre of the hotel offers a welcome respite, a gem in the city.

Lovely hotel, very green. Lots of places to sit out near the pool or under the palm trees. Only a block from the esplanade, and a nice walk into town. Fast-food restaurants a block away. Easy to get to/from the airport. Very helpful, friendly staff. A great place to hang out.
