Loved how easy it was to get around.
Loved how easy it was to get around. Loved train to Kuranda and skytrain back down. Art gallery and the gallery next door were interesting. Sea food on Prawn Stars and at Port Douglas was the icing on the cake.Guest review byVan der Sluys - 6.0
There really isn’t much to see in downtown Cairns.
There really isn’t much to see in downtown Cairns. To enjoy it, you have to go out to the islands, but this always requires paying a high price, and there aren’t many options in terms of timing. I would instead recommend staying briefly at a resort on one of the islands and then returning. Kuranda and the other rainforests were more developed as tourist attractions than I expected. Everywhere you go, you have to pay an entrance fee, and the shops all felt the same without any unique character.Guest review bychoiAustralia - 10.0

The esplanade and the Cairns museum were great for the fascinating history of the town. The beautiful beaches at Palm Cove and Yorkeys Knob and the stunning waterfalls, lakes and Rainforest of the hinterland. The botanic gardens were wonderful.Guest review byTonyAustralia - 10.0
Plenty to see in and about Cairns.
Plenty to see in and about Cairns. This was our base and with our own vehicle it was very easy to get around. We took the Sky Rail to Kuranda and returned by train to Freshwater Station and it was a most enjoyable experience. The train only runs twice a day therefore if wishing to return this way, then it pays to book in advance as train seats are limited. The Pier has an array of waterfront venues to choose from offering a variety of food. Most cafes and restaurants have a Menu on display outside the venue. There is even a Brewery further down near the Cruise Terminal. The decor and now the digital fish flooring is definitely worth a visit to the Casino. Good food opportunities here too! Centenary Lakes/Botanic Gardens, Copperlode Dam along with the Crystal Cascades at Redlynch and the Red Beret Hotel are must visits.Guest review bySandraAustralia - 10.0

The foreshore is beautifully done by the Council with a public swimming Pool the area feels safe and lots of nice restaurants. Close to the Marina where you can catch boats to the Islands. Enjoyed Green Island this time, many choices of things to do. Cairns Art Gallery is situated in a beautiful heritage building and worth a visit. Recommend Rocco roof top bar and Miss Chief. I'm coming back.Guest review byElenaAustralia - 10.0
such a chill town with loads to do.
such a chill town with loads to do. Snorkelling on Fitzroy island, Kuranda scenic train and skyrail, loads of waterfalls nearby for hiking and swimming, big free public pool on the esplanade, lovely coffee shops, bars and restaurants, live music. liveaboard scuba diving with Divers Den out on the reef was phenomenol. Weather was amazing, warm all year round. loads of great hostels to choose from (I stayed in like 6 different places).Guest review byRobin SynnNew Zealand

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 44 reviewsThe apartment was beautiful! I was travelling with my friend and we each had our own room and bathroom each. The location was perfect, just a short stroll down the esplanade to restaurants and everywhere we wanted to go. It was the perfect place to stay with a friend and have plenty of space. There’s also plenty of space for two couples. Cannot wait to visit Cairns and stay here again with the family.Guest review byMichelleAustralia
