Must be in your tick off list, book a Great Barrier Reef tour (Dream Time catamaran is tops - offers snorkelling and scuba diving, equipment and preps comes with package but don't forget your waterproof camera like I did, if you do, you can hire one, bring some sea sickness pills if going to the Reef, just in case, go on a tour to Kuranda (cable car ride, amphibious vehicle ride and the train ride are spectacular) visit the free swimming pool near the Esplanade, enjoy sea sports, enjoy an helicopter ride, taste the variety of food and love life!

Cairns is the hub for onward travel to the northern beaches, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation, Fitzroy and Green Islands and The Barrier Reef. Personally we found 2 nights in Cairns sufficient for this purpose.

the hospitality in Cairns was fabulous, free entertainment almost every night, and the bus fare at 50 cents per sector was outstanding making it so easy to go anywhere and do most things, the free pool just outside our hotel was so inviting.

At this time of the year the weather was amazing, people were so friendly and helpful but in saying that weren't Aussies either. Is a walkable city so park on the outskirts and walk in is best thing to do. Lots of entertainment venues, cafes, restaurants, caters well for the international tourists, if you're looking for purely Aussie experience it is hard to find due the international target market
Lots of short drives and day of half day activities.
Will be planning a trip back soon
A tropical style, well positioned and well maintained neat hotel located in prime position in Cairns within 5 min walking distance to the Esplanade, bustling restaurants and bars. Magnificent sea views from our room. Couldn’t have been happier with our upgrade to a top floor sea facing ocean front room! Loved the layout! And the walk in shower. Thank you to the staff who were always smiling, helpful and willing to give you free cookies every time my husband visited the reception desk.
Fantastic location right on the Cairns waterfront with delicious breakfast from the Cafe over the road. Easy walking distance to many restaurants for dinner. Beautiful, spacious, well furnished apartments with locked garage parking for our hire car. Loved sitting on the balcony, cooling off in the pool and going for walks on the Esplanade.
Good Value.
Perfect for an overnight-er in Cairns to attend a function.
A simple Hotel room that was very clean, Secure, with a fantastic shower (A decent shower with good water pressure is a box I like to be ticked)...
Great location.... a short walk to the Esplanade.
The room/apartment had everything we wished for: King bed, very large room, balcony, kitchen, very clean and modern, car parking, restaurant. The hotel is located just a stroll away from Cairns Promenade, city and hospital.
Beautiful hotel in the best location in Cairns. It opens out back onto the Esplanade with restaurants up and down the street. It is walking distance to the marina and right opposite the public lagoon and Ferris wheel.
