North Cove Waterfront Suites
4/531 Reviews
Cairns City
Our apartment was very clean and well appointed. Lovely view of the esplanade. We will definately stay here again on our next visit to Cairns. The city centre of Cairns is about a 30 minute walk along the Esplanade and a $8 Uber ride to return if you aren't up for the return walk. A nice location not being in the busy centre of the city but still close enough to be within reach. North Cove advertises itself as your home away from home and it is certainly is that. Kitchen was well stocked, rooms are large, wifi and complex was secure. I would recommend this apartment to couples, families, and business travellers.
The Lakes Resort Cairns
3.9/539 Reviews
Cairns City
The location of this hotel is a little bit relatively lively, but the taxi distance is not too far, the front desk is Chinese service, the service is very good, the hotel facilities and environment are very good.
Cairns Colonial Club Resort
4/5107 Reviews
Cairns City
I'm doing well in comfort. The Korean staff at the reception and all the staff were friendly, Thank you for smiling and welcoming those who came to the cleaning service for three days. It is a pity that I couldn't use the swimming pool due to the current government policy and only see it with my eyes, but I am very satisfied because there were bright smiles and great food from the kitchen staff. I pray that everyone will be healthy and have a happy tomorrow.
Nrma Cairns Holiday Park
4/533 Reviews
Cairns City
My wife and I stayed at Cairns Holiday park for one week in an ensuite site. While the sites are drive through they are not long enough to stay hitched. Also, the roads are narrow making parking a bit difficult. It took a bit of manoeuvring to get out as well, luckily there was no-one in the site in front, so we managed to drive through. The park is in a great location within easy drive to everything in Cairns, although not much is in walking distance. The ensuite was in reasonably good condition, but what made it special was that it was 'refreshed' half way through our stay. We do not use ensuite sites a lot, but this was the first time we had an ensuite cleaned and toilet paper, towels and soap replaced - we really appreciated that extra touch. There is a bit of road noise, but it did not disturb us a great deal. Also, it is not far off the flight path for Cairns Airport, but again we did not find it a problem. There were no overnight flights so it did not disturb our sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, this was a very good caravan park, probably a good choice to stay in Cairns.
Palm Royale Cairns
4/5122 Reviews
Nice large clean room, plenty of tea, coffee etc. provided. Staff very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Raintrees Shopping centre across the road where busses leave for the city every few minutes, there was even a covered waiting area just outside the resort for tour pick ups. I definitely recommend Palm Royale.
Coral Towers Holiday Apartments
4.3/525 Reviews
Cairns City
Apartment hotel, the kitchen is very good, fully equipped, can fully meet the needs of the husband's chef, but there can be no fumes, otherwise the alarm may ring, fried eggs, steaks are no problem, two rooms, two big two small no problem, There is a laundry room, two large balconies facing the sea, parking spaces, and the hotel is completely self-service. The location is a little far from the city center, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk, making it easy to drive.
