I wish I had stayed there before. What a discovery! Clean, in a quiet area close to the waterfront and such good value for money! The receptionist was ever so nice! There looks to be a quaint little pool, but I did not use it.

We enjoyed the swimming pool. The air conditioning in the room worked well. The location was OK - only about a 3 block walk to the waterfront. At sunset we could watch the flying foxes going by. We originally booked for two nights and then decided to stay for five. We couldn't extend the original booking on booking.com, so we made a separate one for the additional 3. The hotel was able to amalgamate the two bookings so that we could have the same room for all five nights. And we ended up with a big room with a full size fridge.

It is a bit old and retro, but very clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly. I had an overnight in Port Douglas and they not only looked after my luggage while I was away, they delivered it to my room so it was waiting to me when I returned.

Everything was beautiful. Decor spot on, every little thing was well thought out, from the cutlery, crockery, toiletries to coordination of the linen. Spotlessly clean and fresh. The only thing I found was the aircon wasn't as cold as I would have liked. It was set at 17deg but it felt a lot warmer, I had the ceiling fan on full but it was still too warm for me. Apart from that I loved loved the room. I will be back and highly recommend it.

All motels in Cairns

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.
