What Guests Said About Cairns:
-
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 -
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.
Fiona Australia -
Used to love Cairns, but all a bit sad now.
Used to love Cairns, but all a bit sad now. Many shops shut, lagoon pool emptied presume for maintenance.Eating out very expensive. You really need a car, this was our first holiday without one in Cairns, lucky we hired a car from Cruising for 3day trip to Mission Beach and Paronella Park,the rate was good and zi regret not extending even though parking is expensive Sorry Cairns but it would have been cheaper and better to go to Thailand this time.

Used local buses and taxis to get around.
Used local buses and taxis to get around. Every driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There were lots of great tours available. We went to Kuranda scenic railway and skyrail, city sights tour, Australian armour and artillery museum. Great pubs to eat in were Dunwoody's and Cock and Bull. Friendly locals who could not do enough to advise and help us.

We had 5 nights in Cains, and saw lots.
We had 5 nights in Cains, and saw lots. I absolutely loved the Kuranda Tour (up with the Sky Rail, walk around Kuranda, Rain forestation with Army Duck Drive and Aboriginal Dance etc as well as lunch, coming back with the Scenic Railway). We then also did 2 Island Trips, one to Green Island the other to Fitzroy Island. Fitzroy Island was amazing for snorkelling, we saw lots of colourful fish, coral as well as green turtles. Green Island was not as good for snorkelling, possibly because of the low tide?? Definitely didn't see as much there. Walking around Green Island was very nice. I would like to do all the Fitzroy Island Hikes as well, unfortunately I had a sore foot but definitely next time :) I definitely highly recommend Cairns for any age group. Cairns itself is such a beautiful coastal town with yummy restaurants along the pier. Book tours early enough, since they get booked out very quickly!

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.

Great location, in the heart of the CDB, close to night markets, restaurants, water front and esplanade. The one bedroom apartment we stayed in was well appointed with a small kitchen and open plan dining / lounge area. Although it appeared to an older apartment, everything was clean and functional. Pool area was inviting and there are several different areas to sit within the hotel. Car space appeared limited. Would recommend and stay again.

Sarah\n Australia -
From $107 per night
We spent three nights in a double room with kitchen. You can tell that the hotel is getting a bit old, the rooms are not completely renovated. Everything was very clean and the staff is very friendly. A very nice garden and pool possibility in the hotel. On foot you walk over the esplanade about 20 to 25 minutes in the city center to Cairns. Overall, a relatively good stay.

Everything about this hotel is 5 star - rooms, staff, pool, restaurant... location is excellent with great sea/esplanade views and a a short walk into town . The price is great value and as it was our honeymoon the staff really went the extra mile - one of the best hotels we've stayed in!

From $92 per night
Location is OK but it is a long walk up to the main tourist places along the Esplanade. I think the room is OK value for money as this was not a top price hotel. (You get what you pay for). Bed was fine although an extra cover would have been handy as I got cold during the night.
Neville\n Australia -
