A very relaxing place to stay , very beautiful and well kept gardens giving that nice tropical holiday feel . Lovely well looked after pool . Very secure and great for a lone traveller or a family . The staff were welcoming and worked really low key in the background to make my stay enjoyable . Close to a well known club and DFO shopping outlet , also a supermarket for groceries . well shielded from main road noise . Would definitely stay again without a second thought . 👍

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.
