Really beautiful, so far on my travels around Australia this has been my favourite place to stay. Would 100% recommend trying Chicken Shed and Jimmys Burgers for food as they’re AMAZING! Would also recommend doing the flight tour of the Great Barrier Reef, it was spectacular, the snorkelling would possibly be a great option too (hate the ocean so didn’t do the snorkelling) Kuranda train and Sky rail is a deffo must do too, really beautiful place and there’s so many amazing sites to see!

Decided to go by Queensland rail on a sleeper carriage
Decided to go by Queensland rail on a sleeper carriage The journey was incredible value , all meals included which were excellent and staff fabulous The Kuranda railway and Skyrail is a lovely tourist attraction , the Skyrail took me out of my comfort zone but fantastic scenery gliding through world heritage rainforest The esplanade is great and the pool and water park options are great for kids The shopping is excellent, likewise the variety of restaurants on offer The heat and humidity is quite oppressive, but like new places you cope There are buses , but walking is your best option around Cairns so moderate mobility is a must! Flew back to Perth, re Cairns Airport easy to get to and navigate Great holiday and can’t wait to go back and explore more!

- From $138.18 per night8.8Excellent · 2,067 reviewsSuperb room and bathroom, all modern, well maintained and clean, hotel is right next to the marina and the lagoon / esplanade But highlight is undoubtedly the friendly family team running the hotel. The manager Peter couldn’t have done any more to make my stay more enjoyable - from a fuss-free early check-in, to booking all my planned activities for me (at a discount - including a scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef). Thanks again for a fantastic stay - nowhere else I would book in Cairns.
KevinUnited Kingdom - 8.6Excellent · 896 reviewsThe location of this apartment was brilliant. We had an excellent view of the esplanade and all of the people walking by. We walked to everything each day, including the Marina, Brewery and Casino. We were impressed with the size of apartment, it was perfect for our family. We had everything we needed to stay for weeks if we'd wanted to. The price was by far the best in the area and we were surprised at the size and location for the low price we'd paid.
BrooksAustralia - From $112.59 per night7.8Good · 2,520 reviewsThe staff at this hotel really made the stay wonderful. They were helpful and nice and booked my tour and taxi. Cairns is so hot so it was nice to have good air con and the pools. Its a short walk to the esplanade and the park. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot and clean. The wifi worked pretty well and the kitchen was equipped with anything youd need. Its also good to have access to laundry facilities on each floorJessicaCanada
- 9.2Wonderful · 79 reviewsViews were amazing. Quiet location but a quick and beautiful walk along the esplanade to everything at the harbor. But the best part was all the thoughtful touches, like milk and chocolate in the fridge, plentiful coffee pods, dishwasher and laundry detergent, and more than enough towels for our family of five. No scrimping! The apartment was clean, orderly, and very comfortable. Wi-Fi service was great. We LOVED our stay.KerryUnited States of America
- From $104.40 per night7.8Good · 2,159 reviewsWe came to Queensland as a family for a 10 day holiday. Four days into the break, one of our party tested COVID+ Due to the Queensland school holidays it was not possible to remain in quarantine in the motel we had booked prior. Paradise Links Resort in Port Douglas, and Sunshine Tower Hotel In Cairns were fully informed of our developing COVID status and they honoured our bookings and treated us very well.JannAustralia
- From $138.18 per night8.8Excellent · 2,067 reviewsI loved that this is a small locally run hotel. Interacting with them, you can tell they really want their guests to have a great experience at their hotel and in Cairns. They are and will continue to do their best for their customers. Thank you Paul, Peter, Preezy (sp?)! And especially big thanks to Big Ben for the casual conversations! I had a wonderful stay, especially with all the activities close by.BrentonUnited States of America
- From $122.52 per night8.0Very Good · 3,088 reviewsTidy hotel with a nice pool, not too far from the Cairns Esplanade. The room was comfortable, with a good air con and serviced well. Plenty of free parking on the street outside. A few more deck chairs around the pool would be helpful, but the pool itself was never too crowded. Doors slam shut quite loudly, but otherwise it's a very quiet hotel. Wifi was free but very weak and slow.GregoryAustralia
- 9.4Wonderful · 96 reviewsGeorge was fantastic. He explained everything very thoroughly and was a pleasure to deal with. We would recommend staying with Casa Borghese. The vibe of the apartment was fantastic and in great condition. The amenity is 2nd to none. The is a fantastic cafe for breakfast close by and a wonderful hotel to have a meal out of an evening aboout 300m up the road.
WayneAustralia - From $109.18 per night7.5Good · 1,346 reviewsSimple hotel but with a nice vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant, which is part of the hotel, is very good and definitely worth a visit. Not a negative, but in case important to people, the location is about a 20-minute walk from the Esplanade and the more buzzy areas of Cairns.
NualaUnited Kingdom - From $231.32 per night8.3Very Good · 2,210 reviewsLocation was practically unmatched, amazing rooftop bar and the room was simple, but stylish and comfortable.

- From $363.35 per night9.3Wonderful · 28 reviewsOur planned arrival time changed several times, including on the day of arrival. David was really very responsive and, well, forgiving. The location is especially good for anyone who wants a place near the airport for a next-day departure, while MUCH nicer and quieter than a typical airport hotel.
EricUnited States of America - From $61.41 per night7.3Good · 1,182 reviewsWent into this hostel thinking it wouldn’t be that great since it was so cheap. Oh man, was i wrong. The dorm I stayed in had its own restroom and shower. It also had it’s own refrigerator. Definitely one of the most bang for your buck in Cairns for a place to stay.KyleUnited States of America
