Cairns Colonial Club Resort
Hotel in Cairns
Cairns Colonial Club Resort has affordable accommodations, 10 minutes’ drive from the city center and Cairns Airport. It features 3 lagoon-style pools, and a man-made beach. Impeccable and impressive hotel. The room was very large, with 2 huge beds. New and impeccable bathroom. Every day they made the room. There is a jug of water to make coffee / tea. Very useful the refrigerator. You also have an iron and ironing board in the room. There is laundry (under payment) at the hotel, and they work perfectly and everything is very clean. Wifi very good in the room. The breakfast was very varied and replenished as it ends. The hotel pools were very nice, as were its gardens. The hotel staff was the best, all very friendly and they helped you in whatever you asked for, but above all I have to thank Paula's attention, at reception, when the last day I had a problem with Sun Palm, that they had to pick me up to go to the airport and they did not show up. Paula was so kind that she called Sun Palm and solved the problem. When they treat you like that, it's nice. I hope that the hotel in some way rewards its employees for their good service to customers. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Cairns. Everything is facilities. As I said, I had never found a hotel that is perfect. This one is.

Wonderful waterfront, Esplanade, fantastic restaurants. A great base from which to explore the area. Loved Dundees restaurant on the harbour. Very easy to get around and to book tours. Weather was superb. Would love to visit again.

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.

I like Cairns Central, because it has movies, food shopping etc. There are plenty of activities to do if you check on the brochures and the views from the hotels are great. Restaurants are everywhere and the Cairns market is huge.

There's a lot to see and do in an around Cairns.
There's a lot to see and do in an around Cairns. You could easily spend a week there and still not see/visit all the tours, sites and places that you should visit if you decide to go to Cairns. For example, we spent a few hours on Fitzroy Island, which is great for anyone who wants to only do a short cruise to experience a tropical island, do reefy things like snorkel, or lie a beautiful beaches. We also did a day trip to Cape Tribulation which also included a side trip to Mossman Gorge. Other easily accessible day tours to Kuranda (very scenic rail & chair lift either way), and further up into the tableland sites for a day trip or overnight.

Edge Apartments Cairns
Cairns
Apartment 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.
