    Cairns was the highlight of our 10-day trip to Australia.

    Cairns was the highlight of our 10-day trip to Australia. We loved the beautiful natural beauty it offers and the convenience as a base point to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef, ride the gondola to Kuranda Village and hike Daintree Rainforest. Mossman Gorge and the gondola stop within the Daintree Rainforest is jaw-dropping when you see the trees, plants and fauna. Park rangers, hotel staff, and even shuttle bus drivers were very friendly and accommodating, especially the people at Visions Apartment on the esplanade. There were lots of restaurants and shopping around the esplanade. Lots of activities for multi-generational group of ours. We rented a car last minute from a local family-run rental, who brought the car to our hotel. Very friendly and convenient! We were a bit nervous driving on the left side of the road, but turned out to be an easy drive to Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas. We hiked the well-marked trails and learned about the local Aborigines culture in Mossman then stopped in Port Douglas to see wild cockatoos, fox bats and had great ice cream in the small town. We loved everything about Cairns and even though there were rain storms during our trip in May, it was a nature-lovers dream!

    Cairns is a fantastic little city that is a gateway to some of Australia's beautiful natural sights. There are many tours on offer from Cairns to see the Daintree Rainforest or the Great Barrier Reef. The nightlife is good and there are plenty of restaurants and bars to refuel after big days of activities.

    Cairns is both a hub of activity and a gateway to adventures within a few hours of travel. It has an ambient climate with all the services and culture you’d expect of a much bigger city. There is so much to do in cairns and the public transport system is both convenient and well run. There are so many adventures to be had on the Great Barrier Reef, Green Island and Fitzroy Island. Mission Beach, The Atherton Tablelands and The Daintree are all a day trip from Cairns.

    Terrible - do not stay here with family ! It’s loud, beds are uncomfortable, sketchy people everywhere!!! Loud music till early hours of morning. Costs the same as a resort as a family room there. Save yourself money and pay less at cairns resort. They say it’s not a party place, don’t believe it. My children could not sleep. To be honest, I couldn’t. I thought the floor was okay (we checked in and let the kids on the floor, after playing for 3 mins their feet were black ! From the inside hotel room! ) ridiculous. I could have vomited

    We had a lovely stay in cairns. The location of the apartment was excellent. We loved walking to the cairns lagoon, the night markets/esplanade and along the boardwalk with so many dining options. Island day trips leave from the marina just 2 minutes walk! The apartment was clean, had everything we needed and we loved the convenience of a kitchen and laundry for our family. The balcony had a lovely view of the water. Thank you!!

    Older style but very clean and comfortable with good instructions for late night entry. Close proximity to the Cairns Esplanade and some lovely coffee shops for breakfast. Arrived after midnight on a late flight - this hotel is one of the closest to the airport - only $19 for taxi. Hotel cost just over $100, a real bargain, given an unexpected overnight stop thanks to Jetstar changes to an international flight.
