What Guests Said About Cairns:

Absolutely Loved Cairns.
Absolutely Loved Cairns. Easy to get around and arrange tours. The esplanade is a lovely clean place to be full of great dining options. The free lagoon is a feature and we found it to be very clean and well maintained, there was even community aqua aerobic classes held there. Day 1 we hired a car and took a drive up to Port Douglas and then stopped in at the Crocodile Farm on the way back - spectacular coastline along the highway, beautiful swimming beaches and the croc farm was good fun. Day 2 we had a day trip out to the reef (Green Island) nice relaxing day. Glass bottom boat was a highlight. Day 3 we took the scenic railway up to Kuranda and the Skyrail back down. This day was by far my favourite, the scenery was incredible. Spectacular. Such a well run day, we loved it. This itinerary gave us a great taste of Cairns as we only had 3 full days to cram things in. We also visited the Casino one night too.

Cairns in winter has the perfect climate , we stayed 4 days , but could of stayed a couple more days . We did different tours each day , an awesome experience , very friendly tour hosts. So many restaurants to chose from, we did have a lovely dinner at YaYa's Hellenic Greek restaurant and grabbed yummy takeaway pizza and pasta at Villa Romana Trattoria. La Pizza trattoria was great for coffee and breakfast . Walking around town was easy and Uber drivers were easy to find and all the ones we had were friendly locals.

Small tropical city.
Small tropical city. Airport very close to city. Lots of attractions and activities nearby. Reef tours, snorkelling and diving, rainforests, cruises, kids activities, nature trips, helicopter rides. It’s all here, and not as commercialised and crowded as the Gold Coast

The Aquarium, Fitzroy Island, The Dome at the Casino ,The train and Skyrail at Kuranda, were all terrific. We found a cafe on the Waterfront where tour boats leave for breakfast. Dundees, The RSL and Casino were all great for meals. We walked a lot and hired a car to go to Port Doouglas, very easy to get around. Because of where we stayed.

All the restaurants and bars were great.
All the restaurants and bars were great. The Cock and Bull Pub was excellent. It is just down the road. Cairns is very easy to get around. The only negative thing with Cairns is we didn't feel safe walking around at night.

I was last in Cairns in 1995 and there was not much along the esplanade. Now it is a vibrant esplanade and the man made lagoon is lovely. There are quite a few restaurant choices on the pier but found walk ins to be non existent. You must book these especially for a 6-7 pm dinner otherwise you will go hungry. The steam train and cable car over the rainforest is a must see but in 1995 Karanda was abuzz with really arty shops and the market was buzzing. Felt it to be a bit underwhelming this time but the lack of international tourists across Cairns was evident.

Reef Palms
Cairns
From $93 per nightReef Palms is located outside the city center, on a quiet side-street. It's a pleasant walk to the esplanade, docks/city center, and Night Market, and is an easy walk to the Cock-and-Bull, one of the best restaurant values in Cairnes. Manager Jeff was great, very pleasant and did a great job getting us into our Kuranda tour and our Great Barrier Reef dive. It was also one of the few hotels/motels in the area that would accommodate 4 people in a room. I highly recommend it!

We Got a bargain price through booking.com for our stay which sweetened the time we spent here. Check in and out was a breeze and after travelling for a week we made the most of the room and the huge bed and caught up on much needed sleep. The rooms are so big and comfortable and I always love staying here when in cairns. Breakfast was great the one morning we made it in time. Hotel staff always friendly and inviting.

We don’t have the chance to stay in this hotel as they become an isolated hotel in the city. However, they relocated us in one of the luxury hotel in Cairns. They most likely upgraded our accomodation and paid more than 80% of the hotel rate. We couldn’t be more happier and blessed to be able to experience to stayed in five star hotel. Thankyou so much Ibis Styles :)

Parking was great, apartments were open-plan and spacious for a 3 bedroom apartment. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and crockery. Beds were extremely comfortable. TV in the main bedroom was much appreciated. Redlynch location was great. Our family have stayed in Cairns at Christmas time for the last 6 years and Valle Vista was up there amongst the best!
