North Cove Waterfront Suites
4/530 Reviews
Cairns City Center
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

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

Cairns City Center
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
4/534 Reviews
Cairns City Center
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.
Waterfront Terraces

If you want to stay in Cairns, I can not scream it louder, DO NOT TO STAY HERE. The reviews are good but locals say the owner makes the staff write these when in reality, it’s a s***hole. A few of the reasons for this: 1. There is no boom gate for the parking. I know this doesn’t seem like the biggest deal breaker but when the police are making random stops inside the hotel parking area, my alarm bells go off and I’d prefer to have my car and belongings secure. 2. Had a place on the top floor. When we came in, there was a slippery oil like substance on the floor. We had to clean it up ourselves and when we spoke to the owner about it, she said it must be the condensation from the air conditioner from the apartment below us. Not only is this a serious slipping hazard but what a stupid and ridiculous response! However, we came to find this wasn’t the stupidest answer we would receive from her. 3. We found ants all over the kitchen bench. It looks as though they were heading into a hole in the grout above the tiles. The owner came up, with no shoes on and asked us what type of ants they were. Obviously we didn’t know so she had a look. “Oh, they’re little sugar ants. What a bummer”. I kid you not, that was her exact response. The only solution she could offer was a can of bug spray the next morning. Also, to do this, we had to use our own mobiles due to the fact the 2 phones in the room were not working. 4. Sheets were dirty, paper thin with stains all over them as well as only being rationed 1 pillow each with the ones for the sofa bed in the cupboard looking quite filthy. There were also numerous missing knives and cutlery, so too bad if I needed to cut up a meal! 5. With 6 people staying 3 nights, you would assume they would give you more than 1 1/4 rolls of toilet paper! How long is that meant to last us? Housekeeping is severely lacking here. 6. Who on earth keeps saying this is in a good location!?!? It is ages away from anywhere and you honestly have to drive to get into town if you don’t feel like walking for hours. We were going to stay there 3 nights (ended up staying one) and they gave us a refund for the last night after stating there is a 2-night minimum. I genuinely have never wanted to be out of a place quicker. This place is an absolute joke. I have travelled around Australia and the world and this is hands down probably the worst I have ever been to. Hopefully this review will help others in the future to NOT STAY HERE and be informed about the proper state of the Waterfront Terraces.
Coral Towers Holiday Apartments
4.3/526 Reviews
Cairns City Center
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.
