Greg, United States of America

very yery clean rooms with fantastic view over Carins, amazing hosts who help you with all you can think of and book trips for you. extraordinary breakfast with fresh fruit - thank you Marlies and Bruno for a great time in Cairns and good luck for your plans in the future :)

Christian, Germany

The breakfasts were great every day, wonderful fresh fruit and breads as well as yogurt and cheese. Bruno and Marlies were wonderful hosts and gave us good directions for getting to Cairns via the bus. It was a treat each evening to come back to the place and swim in the pool(which we needed as it was very hot and humid) and just unwind. The room was clean and comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well. We loved listening to the birds in the morning sing there hearts out.

Philip, United States of America

The view, the room, the host, everything! The only thing I don't like is they are selling the property, maybe next time I can not stay there & see them again!

Lili, Taiwan

The place located around 20 minutes drive from downtown Cairns. A nice and quite district. Walking distance to the botanical garden and two lakes. Nice houses and trees. The host are very friendly and helpful, room was very clean. Especially, the bed is hard enough for my problematic back.

Jane, China

The view is spectacular! Our hosts went above and beyond our expectations by offering rides and recommendations when needed. Absolutely a marvelous place to stay!

What a beautiful place to stay! And I don’t talk only about exceptionally clean room with a beautiful view and absolutely amazing breakfast with all sorts of different fruit every morning. Wherever you go it is all about people you meet and sometimes great people can make your trip even more special - that how I felt in Kookas Bed & Breakfast. Marlies & Bruno it was an absolute pleasure to meet you both! Such a lovely couple taking care of their customers as it was a family. Thank you for all great conversations and advices and I wish you all the best with your future plans! Zuzana

It’s a very steep climb walking up the drive away, so those with limited mobility may find it a challenge, though one can always be driven door-to-door! Larger bath towels would be excellent. However nothing that would stop me from booking again if only it were nearer to London!
Everything! The stunning views, surrounding greenery, hospitality, breakfasts, pool and serenity more than make up for the B&B’s slightly off-the-beaten track location. That said, there’s a cluster of places to eat just a 15 minute walk away. Alternatively a 10/15 minute drive to the waterfront provides plenty of food and entertainment options. I always prefer the smaller and calmer types of accommodation as opposed to the large 100+ rooms type of place. It was absolutely perfect for my young daughter and I. We loved the pool and sitting on the verandah in the mornings eating the beautiful, fresh fruit platter, that Marlies and Bruno prepared each day. Plus great coffee! The icing-on-cake were the family of Kookaburras we could hear laughing away in the forest next to us and two of which would regularly visit during breakfast - showing what bugs they were having for their breakfast. We booked a trip to Kurunda which Marlies organised for us, along with luggage and airport transfer. Nothing seemed too much trouble. If you feel like you might need a place to relax away from the hubbub of town then I couldn’t recommend The Kookas highly enough.

To access the place you need to go up a steep slope, this was ok with me but somebody with reduced mobility should have this in mind (unless you have a car).
Delicious breakfast every day with fresh fruits. Great internet connection. A very nice and helpful host. There are also some tropical birds that come to visit in the morning in the breakfast area, they don't bother you, they just stay there looking because they are friends with the owners. Charming.

The location is a little far from the main town. It isn't a deal breaker and you can move around using an Uber.
Marlies' smoothies and fresh juices. She was a great host and made our stay in Cairns very comfortable. She also helped us with all the activity bookings. Also, the view is amazing with some kookaburras around.

We recommend to rent a car if staying for more than a few day since it's not in the city center. We took taxi almost every time to go to city since small children acompanied. The nearlest bus stop is in 10-15 mins distance.
Marlies and Bruno were very kind and warm. Whenever we have questions, Marlies gave us supports kindly. breakfast with fresh fruit was nice.
