"Great 3-bedroom villa with lots of space and our own plunge pool. Some of it was a bit outdated and run down - e.g. shutters very stiff, one treadmill in the gym didn't work properly. But overall, still a lovely stay. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very helpful. Highly recommend hiring a car as this resort is not walking distance to the main town."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, with a big double balcony overlooking the esplanade. The bed was comfy and housekeeping were attentive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was well maintained - small but ideal for cooling off after a long day exploring the area. Kitchen facilities were as advertised, no cooker but a microwave and full size fridge. Muddys cafe over the road is ideal for a coffee, breakfast or evening bite."

10/10 Excellent
"Had a great 12 days at Cairns Colonial Club over the recent school holidays. The kids enjoyed the pool area and making new friends every day. The convenience of a cafe, bar, pizza place and also breakfast buffet were great to integrate across our holiday when we weren’t out sight seeing. The rooms were always cleaned regularly and well, the staff always so helpful. Would be great to have slightly better storage solutions in the room, as we lived out of the suitcases instead of being able to put clothes away in a draw. Other than that - highly recommend and would love to visit again on our next trip up."
