Good match for:

  • Urban Adventure Seekers: Walk 6 min to Cairns Esplanade and 5 min to Cairns Aquarium for solo sightseeing.
  • Reef Tour Enthusiasts: Reef Fleet Terminal is a 6 min drive (1.7 km) away for easy departure to Great Barrier Reef trips.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Luxury Resort Seekers: Offers basic motel-style rooms rather than high-end spa or fine dining experiences.

The receptionist told us people request accessible rooms for the space and sometime...
