Top Cairns Bay Hotel Reviews

Huon Bush Retreats

10/10 Excellent

"The upgraded cabin was so peaceful and the deep hot bath on the verandah was an incredible experience listening to the wind in the trees and the boobook owl. The care for country walk the next day led us deeper into the rainforest and the tranquillity of the place. The compost toilet was very effective and the be extremely comfy. Everything worked and we had nature visible in every direction through the windows and does and on the deck. Fabulous"

Port Huon Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The picturesque views of the Huon River and the surrounding hills and valleys are the face of this property. It features stand-alone and self-contained cottages that are spacious, clean and modern in design. We stayed for two nights in the soa cottage named Debbie Owen’s. Our experience ticked all the top-rating boxes. On top of it all, it is remarkable to highlight and note in our honest review that the warm bodies behind the “wonderful-ness” of this property are the hosts Ling and Tom who are accommodating, caring and ready to help. They even kept our cottage cosy and warm by turning on the heater on our late arrival. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

Driftwood Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the most beautiful stay at Driftwood Everything was absolutely stunning, peaceful and so thoughtfully done. It was the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend adding the extra food options too — they made the stay even more special and were absolutely delicious! 殺 We loved every minute of our stay and would 100% book again. Such a beautiful little escape — we didn’t want to leave! 懶✨"
