Best Place To Stay In Cairns

Located right at the Cairns Marina - this could not be better situated for all Cairns Excursions, especially those going to the Great Barrier Reef. Within walking distance of the night markets, the Aquarium, and the Eye (ferris wheel). Very clean, rooms are quite large. Loved our king-sized bed. Great pool. Nice variety of restaurants on the premises. Don't miss Mooz Gelati - around the corner.
