Oaks Cairns Hotel

This place was great. We got an ocean view room with beautiful sunrises. We were near the action but no noise. We were able to go on many day trips from here—Kuranda and the waterfall, Harley’s Crocodile Park, the Great Barrier Reef boat, Palm Cove, and walkable to many oceanside restaurants. However, our favorite restaurant was the rooftop restaurant at the hotel. The view was wonderful. Everybody got off the elevator and took a picture. At 5 pm, thousands of bats flew by for a daily show. That was very cool. We liked this hotel and Cairns so much that we stayed an extra eight days.

This is a very nice mid-tier hotel which is centrally located in Cairns and very close to the harbor. The staff is very friendly and eager to help. The rooms are spacious and very clean.

Great siutation and location. Very close to harbour and all amenities. Importantly, also very close to the big public swimming pool (wich also means no need to have one in the hotel). Great view from the terrasse, where also breakfast was served. Good breakfast (a la carte, no buffet). At the same time not noisy, comfortable beds. Very clean!

Fabulously furnished and in a brilliant location. This was one of the only relatively modern hotels I could find in Cairns that didn’t cost a fortune. The lady who checked us in was so lovely but unfortunately I can’t remember her name! It was nice to get such a warm welcome. Lovely view from the rooftop bar as well.

Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Location was nice for quickly getting to the marina for morning excursions. Breakfast on the rooftop was enjoyable each morning.
