What Guests Said About Cairns:
-
We loved Cairns!
We loved Cairns! It was hot, but not unbearable. We only had a short stay (3.5 days), could have easily stayed another 3 or 4 days. We LOVED the aquarium! It's a laid out really well with loads of awesome information and exhibits. Great value for money. Kuranda Skyrail and scenic railway are also awesome. The Kuranda village has a lot to offer families! It's easy to spend a few hours up there. The locals are really struggling without tourists at the moment, which is heart-breaking. Hartley's Crocodile Adventure is well worth a visit - with plenty of animals and activities to see. It's also great value for money. You could spend the best part of a day here. The Cairns esplanade is awesome, the lagoon is amazing and a fantastic place to cool off. For families, Muddy's is a must do with a large stretch of playground for the kids, and a café in the middle (delicious food, juices and coffee!) I would definitely recommend a hire car to get around easily.... but if this isn't an option - you can walk most places in the CBD, and get tours out to other tourist activities.

Magic reef cruises were fantastic, we went to the table lands and visited Kuranda and coffee works and crystal caves all were fabulous. Esplanade clean and lovely walks. great food and entertainments, has everything you need.

Cairns is more than worthy of a visit for both tourists & locals.. Car rental seems to be quite expensive compared to other places I have visited of late. In spite of the claim that there is a shortage of rental vehicles, all of the firms (in Sheridan Street) were fully stocked with vehicles. Bus lines (with multi trip tickets) certainly offer the best value when you compare a $10 Taxi ride to $1:20 for the same trip by a Cairns Bus.

Cairns is Mega expensive to do anything just two people can spend upwards of $400 per day to do tours, My Wife and I went to Joesphine Falls, Babinda Boulders, that was great need to be relatively fit, flew over the reef 1hr and 20mins value for money caters just for 2 people personal flight, personal service. Great way to see the reef read my review product review,look up exclusiveairtours, We looked at reef snorkeling etc, but alot of the tour operators charge for extras some prices were $400per couple, Cairns Aquarium was great well worth the money fantastic close ups of the what the reef looks like uderwater, and the closeness of the sealife.

Plenty of shopping and meal choices, the public pool is great, as is the large children's playground on the foreshore. They had a great huge Toyworld. However overall we preferred staying at Palm Cove.

From $232 per night
The unit is centrally located, walking distance to woolies in the cbd, plenty of cafes nearby for coffee and meals. Having the boardwalk right in front encouraged me to explore the esplanade - something I didn’t do when I lived in Cairns. The unit has all the basics for a stay of a few days. Having the pool area to cool off each day was great, the bbq area was clean and useful for our family bbq. I really did appreciate the late checkout - Ben was very accommodating.

Crystalbrook Bailey
Cairns
From $153 per nightCompact but comfortable 1 bedroom apartment was made better by a balcony, 2 TVs and a kitchen. The ability to charge meals/coffees etc from any Crystalbrook back to the room was an added convenience. The hotel is centrally located to numerous restaurants and a 5 min walk to the esplanade and swimming lagoon. The bus stop is also virtually around the corner so travel to local northern beaches like Palm Cove was simple without a car.

Good location, next to Cairns Aquarium and short walk to Esplanade. Newly renovated hotel is inviting. Friendly reception staff. Lovely rooms, comfy beds. Lovely pool with white sandy beach area and swim up bar. Friendly bar staff. Good variety of food for buffet breakfast. Recommend pre-booking breakfast for good rate. Kids activities in school holidays.

Lilybank Guest House
Cairns
From $71 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!

From $121 per night
The hotel is centrally located and allows you to easily get to most of the main attractions in Cairns city. The rooms were very comfortable and Matt was excellent and responsive to our needs. This is not a resort hotel with all the facilities of such but it is value for money with great rooms and located such that you can access everything.

We had an ocean front suite which was awesome. Our room was recently renovated and very nice. Renovations are continuing throughout but the midday work did not bother us. The location is ideal and the Cairns Esplanade is fantastic- far exceeded all our expectations! The Esplanade Lagoon is the best public pool we’ve seen ANYWHERE!

Reef Palms

From $73 per nightBeds were clean and comfortable, although room service had missed a couple of items, generally the room was comfortable and clean with good working amenities. Location for us was not an issue but it would be a good location for access to the Cairns airport with the shuttle service.

Shangri-La lives up the expectations. While the hotel layout might not be the best (long walking distances within the hotel to and from rooms), the staff, service and facilities are top notch. A very well deserved 5 stars.
