Boasting inner courtyard views, Homestay at Julie's provides accommodation with patio, around 1.5 km from Cairns Station. It is located 2.6 km from Cairns Convention Centre and offers a shared kitchen. Every room is fitted with a terrace with garden views and free WiFi. Julie was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to help me feel at home. I had a very quiet and comfortable room where I could rest to prepare for the marathon I ran during the stay - and then recover afterwards! Definitely recommend.

Floriana Boutique Hotel is a recently renovated guest house in Cairns, where guests can take a dip in its outdoor swimming pool and make the most of its free WiFi, free bikes and garden. The property has sea and inner courtyard views, and is 2.5 km from Cairns Station. The guest house features facilities for disabled guests. This was an amazing place to stay and we are sad that it was only for one night. Everything is thought out to the last detail, there is coffee and tea always available in the hallway for free, the design of the room is amazing. The staff is super friendly and they offer luggage storage. We also had dinner and breakfast at their restaurant and both were super delicious and reasonably priced. Highly highly recommend!
