Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut

Although it is far from the city center, there are many playgrounds, including three pools, so elementary school students can play all day. You can cook your own meals in the room, so I grilled some Aussie beef steaks I bought at the supermarket on the gas stove in the facility and ate them. You can get to the city center by bus, so you don't need a taxi. I would like to visit again.

It was a hassle free check in . We were advised on how to get inside the hotel since our check in was quite late already. The room is so spacious and clean . The location is in the heart of CBD which was so convenient for us

I stayed during my child's spring break. First of all, you should not mistake it for understanding that this is not a hotel, but an apartment. It's a very nice place if you can prepare your own things and buy them as needed. Good access to Cairns shopping centers and major facilities, no problem with rental car parking spaces, the pool is only for guests, so you can use it almost for charter, and you can use the veranda freely. Above all, I liked the owner's friendly greeting and wanted to stay more. We booked from the day before arrival because the flight from Japan was early in the morning, but we were able to tell us how to enter the room in advance by email, so we took a shower and rested and played well from the afternoon I was able to! What I'm glad I brought with me was body soap and soft tissue, and what I wanted was a tephron-processed frying pan? I can't think of anything in particular ... Basically, you can buy anything at the supermarket or the object shop opposite! Have a nice trip!

It was larger and cleaner than I expected. It's out of the city center, but I used Uber so it wasn't a big deal. I was also pleased that a welcome drink was included.

Luggage storage is provided by coin lockers located a little behind the front desk. For the 'Large' size locker, two large suitcases fit inside. They only accept $2 coins, so while you can get change at the front desk, it's easier if you prepare them in advance. The hotel is conveniently located directly opposite Woolworths, so shopping is easy, and Cairns Central is only about a 10-minute walk away, making it super convenient. The facilities are a bit old, and since it's on a main road, I occasionally heard the street cleaner early in the morning. So, it might not be suitable for light sleepers.

Bed is comfy, sheets are clean but blankets looks not washed, so we did not use it. Toilet is clean and love the shower. Facility is really old, needs updating.

Cairns City Sheridan Motel

I stayed for two nights, and the first unexpected thing was that the laundry wasn't available, which was a real shame. You can get fresh towels if you ask. As for Wi-Fi, it was only available in public areas, so I couldn't connect while in my room. The room had a TV, but Netflix wasn't accessible. Be aware that there were ants walking around and a cockroach appeared, so if you're bothered by that, be careful. You can generally walk to the supermarket, but be prepared for an average 15-minute walk.

The only regrettable hotel in Australia and New Zealand. Let me talk about the advantages firstly: it is close to the beach, only a few minutes walk, you can walk, no beach, and the sea water is cloudy. Walk to the city center for about half an hour and there are buses. Besides the disadvantages: the hotel is old, the Wi-Fi signal is often not available, the room is crammed, the kitchen operation table is next to the bed, and you have to be very careful when washing. There was also a striking warning-1,000 fines for triggering a smoke alarm. The swimming pool downstairs was completely unused, with leaves and unknown objects floating in it. The most frustrating thing is that the ants on the wall are all in the tea cup after returning for a while. At night I crawled into my neck! Will not go again.

The building is a little older but the staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy. We informed Mr Mike Scott of our room aircon condition and he immediately helped us to check and changed to another room #17 for us. Thank you so much. The accommodation provides everything that you will need for a family holidays from the pool, complete kitchen, to the laundry facilities. It is very convenient and accessible to all places via DiDi, Uber and public buses. Thank you Mr Mike Scott and team!
