Stayed here twice, no frills hotel very close to Cairns CBD, only 8 minutes to night market and many food oulets. 3 minutes to Esplanade and nearest bus stop. Comfortable bed, good shower, very quiet, has a desk & chair for laptop work etc., has a mini kitchen and coffee making. Everything I needed. Highly recommended value for money.

This is an awesome, classic motel. The room had a separate living room with a small kitchenette. We were within walking distance the Cairns Esplanade and the pier that is the launching point for tours to the Great Barrier Reef. The pool was clean and the property was relaxing. There is a great breakfast place a few doors down.

All motels in Cairns

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.
