Ideally located in the central business district of Cairns, Queensland, this dream destination is located just off the Esplanade, only a short stroll from the main Cairns shopping precinct.

Directly across the road from private hospital I was able to walk to check

Located directly on the beach, Peppers Beach Club is a luxury resort in Palm Cove, offering elegant rooms, great leisure facilities and a fantastic spa pool in a tropical garden setting.

The location was great—convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our trip, but unfortunately, the service didn’t match the setting.

Set among groves of paperbark trees, The Reef Retreat offers 4-star accommodations just 1 minute's walk from the beach at Palm Cove.

Good location, nice sized room. We liked the separate patio with kitchen facilities. Washer and dryer were handy but expensive. The staff is very informed about local restaurants, and they made an excellent recommendation about a dive trip to the GBR.

Located on a tropical island in Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Fitzroy Island Resort is located between the beach and the rainforest. Cairns is 45 minutes away by ferry.

Fitzroy Island is a great destination. It is relaxing and there is plenty to do. Foxy's bar is a great spot for a pub meal and a drink. Our room was good but it is hard to know what facilities you may have in your 1 bedroom apartment. We had a full kitchen and larger fridge but the dishwasher was missing. We have stayed in a similar room about a decade ago and it was better presented. Snorkelling was great fun with a great diversity of fishes and regenerating coral.

Located in Cairns, 5.4 miles from Cairns Station, Cairns Rainforest Retreat provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and barbecue facilities.

Beautiful, quiet, stunningly appointed and designed place. Just two cabins apart from the main house, with an infinity pool looking out onto the neighbouring forest with a little sauna too. Loved showering surrounded by views of the foliage outside the window. Only met the hosts briefly but they were very friendly, and late check in was very straightforward. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a few days immersed in tropical plant and bird life (while still being close enough to the other beautiful attractions of Cairns and surrounds). I would definitely recommend this place!

    Super shower! So much better than all of the ‘luxury’ bathrooms in much more expensive hotels and resorts.

    Pools were the best feature...gardens were well done and very relaxing. As far as a family resort goes, it's suited to the budget.

    The view from the room was fantastic! The location was fantastic! Close enough to walk to everything but far enough to not be in the middle of all the hubbub and chaos. Nice pool but we were there over school holiday and there were lots of kids being kids and not being considerate of others...but it's a family resort so...

    Very much a family resort with lots of pools and play spaces. Room was comfortable but didn’t really have a view or outlook. Meals were a good size and very tasty.

    Cairns Beach Resort is an excellent place to stay for touring the area. It’s right next to Holloways Beach with a cafe just over the road and is right on a bus route to the city. Very convenient for visiting The Tablelands, Mossman, The Daintree, Cape Tribulation and doing a reef trip.
