I had the best stay at Abbott Hotel! Lovely and clean rooms in an absolutely perfect location. Super quick walk to everything - restaurants, bars, docks for boat trips, Daintree pick ups, etc. The highlight though was the staff, they were so incredibly kind and friendly. Special shout out to the manager, Peter, for making my time there so memorable. We would chat every time I passed the desk, and it made for such a lovely environment while I was solo traveling. I’m so grateful I chose to stay here and cannot recommend them enough! :)

We visited Cairns twice during our travels.

We visited Cairns twice during our travels. The first time we explored all the main attractions- Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Island and stayed in a hotel. Our second stay was for a bit of down time having travelled up to Daintree and the Tablelands. We really wanted a bit of relaxation and self cooking so this apartment was perfect. Great food around the pier area. The seafood on the Prawn Star was superb and if you’re self catering, then Woolies has everything you need. The lagoon is perfect for families as is the Muddy Cafe and play park.

Palm Cove is busy but not overwhelming. Many restaurant choices and lovely beach walks. Shout out to the local council. They keep the public areas so neat and clean. The area is flat and easy access for disabled people too.

hotel was right on the beach so excellent for sunrise and sunset photos. beach is picturesque with a nice lookout at one end. close to restaurants, quick drive to a supermarket. phone reception was patchy on beach front but fine around the corner. room has only a bar fridge not full size. off road parking can be tight if you are last one's home.

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

If you have a hire car, Westcourt is a good place to stay.

If you have a hire car, Westcourt is a good place to stay. Away from the mad tourist traffic and late-night city noises. Just a two-minute drive to the Esplanade, Cairns Station, major shopping centre and the city centre.

Not recommended at all. Not as it claims. Not a holiday house. It is A holiday apartment in a Queenslander with owners living on the premises with two territorial jack Russells. No parking. Not an easy address to find for a traveller. Take your own milk for coffee.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.
