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!

id avoid cairns all together go some where else and spend your hard earned money i wish i didgo into the township for a walk and listen to cll out to each other from street to street and couples abusing each other constantlly push bike riders kicking over rubbish bins for fun give it a miss or stay in the high end of cairns. deffinatley not food takeaway is tasteless where we stayed the night markets on the esplanarde were only shops open late not worth the walk the lagoon was being worked on while we were there another dissapointment

Great place to base yourself in for excursion trips.
Great place to base yourself in for excursion trips. The city centre and esplanade are a great place for food choices, the large pool, and general ambience of the town is good. The Esplanade has a variety of places you can eat at. We had no means of transport, but it's only a $30 cab trip in from the airport, and you can walk around pretty easily.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation in a great location. It is located just a few minutes walk along the boardwalk from the restaurants, swimming lagoon and other activities in central Cairns. It is not as upmarket as some of the other Cairns hotels but it is excellent value for money and would be great for a family holiday as it has apartments with kitchen facilities and is just across the road from a childrens playground and water play area and a cafe. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay at oaks Cairns. The location was perfect - right across from the esplanade pool and very close to the reef terminal, lots of places to eat nearby to! The rooftop bar was a stunning place to have a coffee while watching the sunrise over the coral sea! Staff were wonderful, I had to make a few changes to my stay and they were always very helpful. The shower was probably the best ever I’ve had in a hotel!

Cairns Queens Court
Cairns
From $69 per nightHandy to airport, walking distance to Esplanade and Cairns Central for shops. Older basic room but everything needed for a short stay. Good breakfast - love the pancake machine. Breakfast staff were lovely. You’re able to leave bags before checking in (no chance of an early check in though) or after checking out as well as if you are away on a tour for a while. Nice pool area. Friendly housekeeping.

Reef Palms
Cairns
From $125 per nightThe facilities were excellent, rooms comfortable and spacious and the motel is well-maintained despite it being a little older than many of its competitors. Lovely pool. Very helpful and friendly staff and the complimentary transfer twice a day to the city centre is an added plus. I would highly recommend this little gem. It's not your generic hotel room.

Firstly loved entering the lobby area every single time due to the scent! Loved the spacious hotel room, high ceiling and balcony overlooking the gardens. I felt like we were the only ones in the hotel but it was obviously heavily booked. Our family loved the Backyard restaurant for dinner and were sad we couldn't get in a second night due to being fully booked.

From the moment you walk into the Flynn the staff are incredibly warm and accomodating. The hotel is stunning and modern. And their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint are exceptional. The facilities are all modern and easily accessible. The Flynn is right on the Esplanade, making it a short walk to a number of restaurants, the Lagoon, Marina and Casino.

Only stayed for a few hours while waiting for plane trip that night. Cairns very hot so a cheap place to have air conditioning & shower. For what we paid, the room & facilities were very clean & very well presented. Again, basic accommodation in heart of cairns at a cheap rate.

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.
