Conveniently situated in the heart of Cairns, opposite the Cairns Central Shopping Centre and Cairns train station, Travellers Oasis presents an inviting accommodation option featuring an outdoor swimming pool complemented by relaxing hammocks. Just a brief stroll from The Esplanade and The Pier, this establishment offers a prime location for exploring Cairns. Guests can enjoy complimentary unlimited WiFi throughout their stay. The accommodation was thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail, making it comfortable. It has a charming and cute appearance. The bed was very comfortable, especially thanks to the thick duvet instead of just a sheet.

Dreamtime is an award winning hostel with a difference. We offer travellers a safe, peaceful & cosy place to stay. We are not a party hostel.

We want all of our guests to get a great night's rest ahead of a day out exploring the Great Barrier Reef & Rainforest. Tim was friendly and accommodating upon our arrival and helped us choose a tour to the Barrier Reef. The hostel has a relaxed and social atmosphere. They make an effort to recycle and reduce energy use etc. Overall one of the better hostels I've stayed in in Australia.

Guests at Cairns Private Apartments enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, a spa pool, a sauna and a fitness centre. Great and convenient location. The apartment was very clean and spacious. Our check in was a breeze and Ivana was very helpful with our check in and then with suggesting some different tours that we ended up doing in Cairns. Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here again.

Boasting pool views, Elysium Private Apartments at Beach Club & Spa offers accommodation with patio, around 200 metres from Palm Cove Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The outdoor swimming pool features a pool bar and fence. The host Stacy was lovely and very attentive. She goes the extra mile to make sure everything was spot on for us. We loved the pool area. The restaurant was excellent. We loved being close to the pool without being overlooking it as being close was noisy. We loved the Palm Cove weather and the local restaurants.
