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.

We had a lovely fresh and clean room, with a wonderful ocean/marina view and a private balcony. We had breakfast at The Backyard hotel restaurant downstairs every morning and it was fantastic with a great selection of hot food items, fruits, toast/pastries and eggs cooked to your liking on request. The location couldn’t be better with fabulous restaurants downstairs facing the marina and a short 5min walk to the main action of the Esplanade. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

From $178 per night
The staff are all really friendly, the lobby feels welcoming and relaxed. Breakfast is extra but it is a really good spread, and plenty of it. The hotel is easy walking distance to the esplanade, marina and the aquarium and not far from the airport either. The room was fairly spacious, the air con works well, the toiletries in the bathrooms are lovely quality and also in refill bottles which is more eco friendly. A good hotel for a short visit like ours (2 nights) if passing through Cairns.

Reef Palms
Cairns
From $109 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!

From $406 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.

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!

Location is excellent for this well priced hotel. Directly opposite the Cairns Lagoon and close to the Night Markets. No parking but ticket parking for 3 hours at a time nearby. Very comfy beds and very clean. Restaurant/Bar on top floor very good too.

From $204 per nightwe rent a car in Cairns, although the hotel is a little bit far to the sea, while it is still with working distance since Cairns is not a bit city. The 2 bedroom apartment is spacious for a 2 adult+2 kids family. Can cook breakfast in the room.
